No way. AFAICT it has a GM45 chipset, just like the X301, and that just
does not support more than 8 GB. Ref:
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X200
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Core_2_mobile_chipsets
Note that the thinkwiki X301 page is wrong in this regard. It claims
that 16 GB is possible on that machine. It is not.
