17 R4, Ram upgrade to 32GB 2666 MHz? #2

Hi,
I have a late 2016 Alienware 17 R4(i7-6700HQ Skylake-H, 16GB Ram @ 2400 Mhz, GTX 1070), I was wondering if this ram is compatible with my laptop?
a)

or should I go for this ram?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Godcrux,

Thanks for posting.

Here is some information from the system specifications:

2 SODIMM slots
Dual-channel DDR4 SDRAM 1866/2133/2400/2666 MHz (support X.M.P)
Supports 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DIMMs

The Dell recommended RAM part number is:

HYXPX

DIMM,8GB,2666,1RX8,8G,DDR4,S

Memory

DIMM

DIMM, 8GB, 2667, 1RX8, 8G, DDR4, S

Be sure to check the company's return policy in case the memory doesn't work or has a problem. The only company I know of who has a very liberal return policy on RAM is Crucial.
