Greetings,

I am looking to upgrade the memory from 4gb to the maximum and for the life of me I cannot find any official documentation on the dell website that provides specs on the maximum the m14x R1 will support. I've caught a few posts on other sites suggesting 16gb PC1600 worked for them however I am skeptical. Has anyone successfully added 16gb, if so what brand did you use? The second thing I am planning to upgrade is the HDD to a SSD.

4gb-8gb of RAM would be fine for now.. i recommend you to upgrade to newer alienware like m17x R3 (if you have budget ofcourse) .. you can monitor your RAM just simply look at task manager , it barely gets up to 4gb of RAM that mean 4gb is far more than enough (for now..)
