Memory options for Precision M6700 (dual core/i5 version)
Hi,
I was please wondering if the i5 (dual core) version of the Dell Precision M6700 laptop can accept 16GB memory modules.
I know this version can only accept 2 modules installed at the same time but I was trying to obtain a 32GB configuration.
Also please: is DDR3 PC3-14900 the fastest RAM I can install (as long as so-dimm and 1.35v)?
Many thanks :)
PS
Sorry but the "other laptops" categories is not available anymore for posting.. not sure why!

No, it cannot -- 8G max per slot.
The memory speed depends on the CPU -- for the i5, 1333 is max.

Mine is also a M6700 with the same CPU as yours. I would have bought the wrong ram if not for this post an the answers it generated.
To sum it up for other M6700/i5 owners: Make sure the ram is DDR3/L, 1600, SODIMM, dual channel, 1.35v and max 16GB (2x8GB) ...
Thanks a lot guys... now I just have to wait 10 days for delivery, and I really hope it solves the issues I am having.
