RAM

[snaven]

hey I have the M14X R1 and I was wondering whats the max RAM can I have, Im looking at a deal for 18gig and after watching a video online it seems actually baby easy to switch it so I could plug 2 x 8g but how can I know what the max a machine can handle?

16GB (2x8GB) @ 1600mhz is your max. Your laptop doesn't have the secondary RAM slots.

would this be good for my M14X ?
G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

I would go with these ones

I have 4x4GB of these in my m17xr3.

Kingston hyperX would be my next suggestion.

If you want 16GB you have to use dual channel RAM because there is only 2 slots in the M14x. So it would be a 2 * 8GB set up.

When I upgraded my RAM to 16GB, I also upgraded my HDD to a 240GB SSD.
There was a noticeable difference after.

i am due to upgrade to SSD and better RAM. but i think i will wait until the 3yr mark. 2 more years to go.
