Plan on buying an Alienware M17x R4 laptop.

I want to get the laptop with 16GB of RAM but its an extra $300AU to go from 8GB to 16GB I was wondering if anyone was aware of how many RAM slots the M17X R4 laptops had available and whether i could just buy 2x 4GB 1600Mhz RAM cards and put them in myself.

Why do you need/want 16GB of RAM?C_Rule

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="zarshack"]I just wanted to max out the laptops performance in any affordable way. I don't HAVE to have 16GB but if i can get that for an extra $60 or so i will.

He kinda did. Don't do it. Plain and simple.

Well if you must know, the M17x has four slots. Getting the laptop with 8GB would fill two of those. To fill the other two with an 8GB kit would cost ~$40USD.

Regardless of the price, it would be a pointless thing to do. Spend that $40 on a game or something.

I'd get 16gb it's just fun to brag with it imo worth the 60$JigglyWiggly_

16GB of RAM on a laptop is useless.... 8GB is more than enough.JC_Spot

You'd be surprised by the alarming amount of tards that believe ram correlates to pure performance irl.

Yes big fat laptops does reel the big fishes. :cool: b*tches love ram and big numbers.
