Memory options for Latitude E 6430
G'day guys,
I'm planning to purchase a Dell Latitude E6430 in a few days time but I have a couple of things to clarify before I purchase this laptop. The question is, Dell manual correctly says this supports up to 16GB of RAM. However Dell does not provide/ship 16GB of ram with this laptop.
I would purchase aftermarket 16GB of ram to do what I want to do with this laptop. But I'm uncertain which RAM specification I should buy. Should I buy DDR3L (1.35V) or DDR3 (1.5V) SODIMM ?
Can someone kindly advice which module to purchase please ?
This is what the Latitude E6430 manual says :
Memory
Memory connector two SODIMM slots
Memory capacity 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB
Memory type DDR3 SDRAM (1600 MHz)
Minimum memory 2 GB
Maximum memory 16 GB
Thanks in advance :-)

I know from where to buy my RAM. That was not the question I have asked.

I read your question. The point is if you bought from Crucial, you wouldn't have to guess or ask. They stand behind their RAM and their RAM works with Dell.
Their webpage http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Latitude%20E6430&Cat=RAM about the E6430 has the information about the RAM.

Hey XDOCLET it is people like you that make the internet hilarious.
Clearly EJN63 was trying to help, and in fact I support his claim that Crucial is a great resource.
In fact, I would have responded with a similar suggestion.

xdoclet's question was "Can someone kindly advice which module to purchase please ?"
ieee488's answer was "I buy my ram from" cruclal.
- Explaining where he bought his ram from, is clearly not answering xdoclet's question. Then ieee488 said his answer was communicating to xdoclet that if he went to Crucial that he " wouldn't have to guess or ask. They stand behind their RAM and their RAM works with Dell"....but xdoclet would still have to make a choice.
Crucial sells many different ram types that have diff specs, so simply going to the website to buy would not have solved the problem.
xdoclet asked a very specific question and a credible answer that is not a waste of time of forum users and the person asking the question would be an answer that precisely answers the question, not an answer that requires users to draw conclusions about what was meant from a statement like "I buy my ram from best buy"
Again, a statement where one buy's their ram 100% absolutely does not even remotely answer xdoclet's question. Done.

Jesus... It's hilarious how you answered years later and how I'm doing after so much time just to point out that, if only the dude clicked on the link ieee488 gave, he would find the right RAM for that laptop and would clarify his doubts in the simple process. Tho I can't believe there wasn't info around about what type of memory it uses, in 2013... Hard to imagine.
