I have a Dell XPS 9000 with Intel i7 920 and Win 7 64bit.
When I bought the computer it came with 8gigs of ram.
The 8gigs are 4 - 2gigs they are DDR 3.
I have 6 slots for DDR 3 memory sticks. Can I put 6 - 4gig DDR 3 sticks in those slots (giving me 24gigs of ram memory) or add 2 - 2gig sticks bring it up to 12 gigs of ram memory OR Question - can I keep the 4 - 2gigs and add 2 - 4gigs DDR 3’s?
The first time I talked with Dell about upgrading the computers memory I was told I could only go to 12 gigs and that would mean to buy 2 - 2gig sticks. The next time I talked with Dell the tech said I could buy two 4gig sticks and bring the memory up to 16gigs (that is keep the four 2 gig stiks and add 2 - 4 gig sticks. Then next time I talked with Dell tech they said I needed to buy 6 - 4 gig sticks and put them in (24gigs) OR get 2 - 2gig sticks and put them in (12 gigs).
So which is it?
I was at Dell’s site and they have 4gig DDR3’s for 29.99 dollars - about 160 dollars to get 24 gigs of ram memory. Anyone know it that is a good price for 24 gigs of DDR 3?
Here’s a link to the 4 gig sticks at Dell.
