Go to SolutionRAM Memory Upgrade
Hi guys,
I have a Dell L502x and I'm thinking of upgrading my RAM memory. I want to know if my laptop is compatible with this one Corsair CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 16GB Vengeance Performance So-Dimm 1600MHz CL10 DDR3 ?
CPU : QuadCore Intel Core i7-2720QM, 3000 MHz
From what I read it should work, but I want to be sure.
Thanks!

Hi noname25,
Thank you for the reply.
In the post mentioned by you the maximum memory connected to a single slot is 8 GB and the memory mentioned on the first post is of 16 GB so it may not function.
4 GB is the maximum memory recommended on a single slot on Dell XPS l502x.
Also, you may refer to page 94 of the manual by clicking the link mentioned below:
Please ensure you update the BIOS before putting the new memory. Please click the link mentioned below which will take you to the drivers website:
Enter the Service Tag of the computer and choose the Operating System installed on the computer. Please update the latest version of BIOS available.
NOTE: Ensure that the battery is more than 30% charged and AC Adapter is connected during the BIOS update.
Hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards
