Hi, Sorry to bring this back. However, I just had a look at the support page from DELL, it says that the maximum RAM is only 8GB for both E5530 and E5430. I check through the manual books of both models already. They say the same.
Here are the links:
Meanwhile, the IVY CPU should technically support 16GB. I also saw many ads saying that the max. RAM is 16GB. Is there any misunderstanding here? Rgds, Quan

I realize the thread is pretty old here but there seems to be some confusion. The following is straight from the E5430 support page here.
Table 3. MemoryFeature Specification
Memory connector two SoDIMM slots Memory capacity 2 GB, 4 GB, or 8 GB Memory type DDR3 SDRAM 1600 Minimum memory 2 GB Maximum memory 16 GB

For the E5430, the Crucial Memory tool specifies up to 16GB (2 x 8GB) using DDR3L-1866 SODIMM sticks. $161.99 for the pair. Price will vary with other brands/vendors/country.
