Hello, 

Please excuse me if I do not say technical terms correctly, this is my first purchase and first attempt to upgrade the desktop. (it's scary). 

I have been trying to research on my own but it is not working well. I found a SSD card I would like to purchase for more memory but all the compatibility sheets I see for the products does not show Alienware's motherboard as an option.

1. Does anyone know how I can know SSD card will be compatible?

2. I have been reading about RAM topics going on here but some say if you get HyperX as a third party, it would not work to the full potential due to Dell's XM profile. I also read where once it is installed there might be an issue. 

Anyone have a method that worked for them and do you mind sharing?

Thank you for your time
