RAM Upgrade Options
Hello, I have a Alienware M14x, that i purchased in 2011, which came with 6GB of RAM installed. I am having performance issue playing some games and have been told that a RAM upgrade would help. I cant't seem to find anywhere what the maximum amount of RAM I can install. I understand, from reading other threads, that i cannot upgrade my video card, so I would at least like to upgrade my RAM.
Any information would be nice.

For the Alienware M14x R1, the maximum ram supported is 8GB. So you need 2 modules of 4gb each to do the upgrade.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

It appears to have the necessary requirements for it to work with your Alienware system. Unfortunately, since this is a third party product, I cannot confirm that it is going to fully function with the system.
