X51 R2, RAM upgrade question
According to some research that I've done online I can upgrade my RAM from 8gb (2x4) to a max of 16gb (2 x
Is this correct or can I get more than this?
(or would this need a whole other set of upgrades to do?)

Hi,
Yes, that is correct. It has two internally-accessible DDR3 DIMM sockets. The supported memory speed is 1600 MHz. The configurations supported are 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB (Maximum).

thank you for this
so as long as I get 2 x 8gb at 1600MHZ they will be recognised?
anything other than 1600mhz won't work?

Yes, as long as it meets those specifications, it should work.

No, ddr3 and ddr4 use different sockets. It isn't even physically compatible.
