Thanks, I had my order coming in today anyway I ordered this set from amazon as they had next day delivery for it, so I will have it in few hours!
But for future projects I see the value in your ez hook - looks like the build quality is way better might last longer, is it rubberized outside?
Thank you :)
As for the WiFi card and CPU...
WiFi card: Atheros AR5B95 AR9285 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0098VWMOE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
CPU: i7-3632QM
​
NOTE: Maybe my CPU is bad or something or coreboot doesn't 'support' it yet... but it doesn't work quite well, so do research if you plan to upgrade the CPU. As for the WiFi card, it works perfectly after coreboot
eh hallf and half mate.when you corebooted it did you change the wifi card to one of the athros ones? like this https://www.amazon.com/Atheros-AR5B95-AR9285-802-11A-Half/product-reviews/B0098VWMOE
Well, one could always try booting from USB. /s
Just buy one.

I also have an X220 Tablet w/ Coreboot. I am using 8GB of RAM -- 2x Crucial 4GB, this is the kit: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LDLVAO
I had a lot of RAM problems with mine but nothing like what you're describing. I haven't tried mixing DIMM sizes. I couldn't get my X220t to boot up with any RAM w/ Coreboot until I finally gave up and tried a second motherboard from eBay. With that board I've tested this Crucial kit as well as some no-name Samsung 4GB DIMMs I had lying around.
