Chosen Solution
Hello everyone, I have read somewhere that Dell purposefully reprogrammed their BIOS so that they could set limits on any upgrades their customers could install. I won’t be buying Dell or any other manufacturer that limits my ability to upgrade. Anyway, on the official Dell website they say my laptop only supports 4GB max. But on a different website it says that my processor supports an 8GB max. Then on another website a user posted that they were able to install an 8GB upgrade. So what do you thing? Should I just buy the RAM and try to install it? Or will I destroy my hardware poking around in there?
Hi @abraham_luna Dell might state that it supports only 4GB for stability reasons. I don’t know. As long as you don’t exceed the speed (1333MHz ) and ensure that it is DDR3L then you should be OK, barring accidents when you install it that is. Try a 8GB SODIMM stick and see if it works. Here are the memory specifications for your laptop (as you most probably already know) Memory: Slot : One SODIMM slot Type: DDR3L Speed: 1333 MHz Configurations supported: 4 GB Here is a link to the service manual for your laptop. Scroll to p.17 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove / replace the RAM
8 GB works fine in my laptop. Now im wondering if 16 will work
8 is totally fine, I did successfully…
