XPS 8900 64GB of RAM

Not sure why I need to explain but anyway..... I do architectural visualisation where I need to load huge models, with GB's of textures and proxy objects.

I e-mailed dell direct and spoke to a technical advisor he said it had 4 slots each capable of holding a 16GB sim.

I have ordered the RAM, it will be here early next week so I guess we will know then.

Explain why you need more than 32 GB. Crucial will tell you the max amount of ram.It says 32 is the max.--

• Maximum memory: 32768MB
• Slots:4 (2 banks of 2)

*Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory.

Slightly nervous about it working, but if they guy from Dell says it works (and I have the chat transcript) then it should do.

Let us know how it works.

64GB maximum, DDR4 2133MHz, 4x8GB
Shows this on the Dell USA sales site =

But we can only speak to our Dell OEM 8GB memory sticks, not a retailers memory.
GJDKY 8GB
FN6XK 8GB
4PXGC 8GB
659F8 8GB

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.

Ram will arrive next week so I will let people know once it's in.

If one is doing a lot of  video editing and or rendering, scripted photoshop conversions or running virtual machines for software development, then 64GB is a LUXURY.

Just about everything else can comfortably get by with 8GB or 16GB 

Just setup with 64gb ram. seems to be working fine.

What type of motherboard are you using mine is XPS 8900 -303 build MB Dell 0Xi8C4.

 I had decided to pull the dang trigger and order me an Capacity: 32GB (2 x 16GB)  I'll report back in a couple of days.

'WORKING !!!! Wow my Dell XPS 8900 creativity apps is extremely running much faster now. I might grab another 2 sticks next month.  BTW G-Skill has no casing around the mem sticks and do I leave the G-Skill stickers on or take them both off ?

leave the stickers on. it won't make any difference.

Yes, works no problems with Crucial memory.
