Alienware Aurora R5 - Upgrading RAM
I have a single 16gb DDR4 at 2133MHz ram right now for my alienware aurora r5. I want to upgrade my ram because I want to have that dual channel capacity to boost system's gaming performance for some demanding games.
1. So I currently wondering about which model should I get for? Should I go for 2*8gb and getting rid of my single 16gb ram, or an overkill 2*16gb?
2. If I should go for 2*8gb, will this G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-19200 2400MHz Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15D-16GVS fit in Aurora R5? Cause I'm considering buying this one.
3. If I should go for 2*16gb, which ram should I get? can I just get any brand with DDR4@2133Mhz or there is a specific one I should get to match the one I already have?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
The Aurora R5 supports up to 2400 MHz with XMP (optional). It supports 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB DIMMS, maximum memory supported is 64GB (four slots). We do not have a specific brand that we recommend, as long as they meet the requirements, they should work just fine.
