I've noticed that the 770X/Z are particualrly fussy about memory.  I have
a 128M DIMM, for example, that tests fine and works fine in my Thinkpad
600, but won't even so much as get recognized in my 770X or Z.

I've had good luck with memory from 18004memory.com and crucial.com in my
Thinkpads, though.
