Thats easy: mine is one of the early 512MB jobs.

I got the T420 as a replacement for the old R61i and was going to sling
the latter when its disk (120GB) failed because its disk interface
hardware refused point blank to handle any disk of over 256GB, and by
that time you couldn't find any disks of less than 320GB capacity. But it
seemed a shame to bin it, so I fitted a 128GB Sandisk SSD and was amazed
by its performance for disk-related stuff. It still seems slow for
compiles etc, though, compared with the T420.
