Upgrading RAM in alienware X51

Hello,

I am looking into upgrading the RAM in my alienware X51, right now I have 4GB and I am running at 50% just idling. I would like to get 8GB (2x4GB) but I am having a hard time finding RAM that will work for me. I have looked at a few (links below) but not to sure if they would work ?

Links to RAM:

ok ... I used crucial.com's upgrade utility as well as what dell sells and it looks like the X51 uses ddr3 1600 1.5v nonECC ram ... it has 2 slots that can address up to 16gb ... both the example you listed should work ... you don't need ram with the silly heat sinks but it doesn't look like they'd be in the way either
