runix18 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 So I was thinking to upgrade my RAM memory for my Alienware Mx17 R4 and I saw a lot of memories with over 1600 mhz DDR 3 that i curently have (2x 4Gb Micron 1600mhz ddr3). My question is that will i have an improvment in performance if i Upgrade to 1866 mhz ddr3 or to 2133 mhz ddr3, and if will work on this laptop.

pacopaco Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 it depends on what your computer activities are. if you do only some text edition, it will be a bad ideaYou will not gain that's much, by that i mean that you will not notice improvements without an appropriate tool. Except if you are an hardcore gamer who search for these little fps gain :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runix18 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 yes. i am a hardcore gamer... and for the moment i think i will leave the ram upgrade and focus in upgrading my gtx770m to an 780 or 880 gpu.But anyway thx for the reply.

runix18 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Does someone knows for sure if the 1866mhz or 2133 mhz ddr3 works on r4? Does someone have them in theyr system? Coz i want to upgrade to 4x4gb corsair vengeance at 1866mhz and i dunno if they work in r4 or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chap Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 instead of 4x4 u should get 2x8, because 4ram always make the system more unstable and your commandrate will go from 1t to 2tso id always recommend only 2x ram over 4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitehk Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey brother!this is what I've found on the topic, will 1866mhz ram run at 1866mhz on a R4? | NotebookReviewOn post #11 he posts a picture of his Alienware m17r4 successfully accepting 2133Mhz.I cannot guarantee you will have results, but it sounds legit!20 days late... but your question was NOT answered previously, Good luck!
