Hi,
Does anyone know what the max ram is for that model? There's conflicting information online.
Also, which kind of ram should I purchase?
Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome,
A quick search of the board turns up this thread: T400 Max installable memory?
I'm certain a T400 can support 8G of ram, because that's what I'm running in mine. Haven't found a clear answer re 16G.
[edit] If you run a 32-bit OS, you won't get much more than 3.5G of usable RAM, no matter how much you install.
This is the RAM I'm using: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BC106...
There have been several reports of incompatibility problems between ThinkPads and Corsair memory, although some user's report no problems. It's probably a good idea to stick with Crucial or one of the other major brands.

8 GB. I recently upgraded using Gskills from newegg since there were many positive ratings from t400 owners.
