Hi,
I have a Dell XPS L701X that I have a RAM question...
What is the Max Ram that I can put into this machine and be supported by the i5 CPU?
Dell's Support Center software reports that I have...
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz
Total Physical Memory - 4.00 GB
Maximum Supported Memory - 16.00 GB
2048 MB DDR3-SDRAM (1333 MHz)
2x RAM - SPD 2GB DDR3-SDRAM(1333 MHz) Samsung
When I purchased the machine I asked if it was upgradeable to 16 GB and I was told YES. Now Dell is telling me that they do not certify 8 GB sticks so the most I can upgrade to (certified) is 8 GB. Although I see several manufacturers selling 8 GB sticks with the same parameters as the 4 GB sticks.
I would like to purchase 2x, non Dell Certified, 8 GB sticks and install them giving me a total of 16 GB RAM.
Q. Will the CPU support 16 GB of RAM?
