Ripjaws DDR3 SO-DIMM Series DDR3L RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MT/s CL9-9-9-28 1.35V Unbuffered Non-ECC Notebook/Laptop Memory SO-DIMM (F3-1600C9D-16GRSL)

I installed 4 8Gb memory sticks in my 10 year old Alienware M17 X R3 laptop. Back in its day, this was a top tier laptop that was custom ordered from Alienware. Today I'm not so much into gaming, but I use this laptop for processing astro photos. It has a then top of the line I-7 CPU, and a hefty G Force video card. For its new main use, I experienced a "ran out of memory" message for the very first time when processing an image from my new higher resolution astro camera. Well, the 8 gigs wasn't cutting it anymore, so maxed it out to 32 GB just to be sure. A much cheaper alternative than getting a new laptop. It has plenty of processing power even at its age, and in almost perfect condition. With the added memory I noticed a speed increase as well so an extra bonus that I wasn't sure I would see. Very happy with the renewed performance!

Bought this for a wildy old laptop I had laying around to refresh it for my mother. Works as intended and is rated higher than the CPU was capable of but was a noticeable speed difference from the ancient RAM that came with the laptop originally.

Previously, I was under the impression that I could only increase the 2GB RAM of my MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 model A1278 laptop to 4GB RAM. Which at that time did well for me. Recently, I was looking on YouTube for videos on upgrading my laptop. I found a video that increased the RAM in the same MacBook Pro A1278 as mine to 16GB. With a little research, I found that I could increase my 4GB RAM to 16GB RAM. The memory upgrade, the value for the money, the compatibility, quality, and performance are great.

My laptop runs an nvidia graphics card and an i7 core so I need the ram to be able to handle my programs. Originally it had only 8g of ram and this 16g made a world of difference. Processing photos in lightroom is much faster & it can process more photos. I haven't done actual photoshop work so I say much on that. It was easy to install & had no issues when booting it up. So far I don't notice any sort of downhill with the performance so if it starts having issues, I'll let you know!

I have read tons of reviews of people saying it didn't speed up their machine... of course it didn't. If you want to speed up your computer get a new Processor. The processor is the brain, the RAM is basically the short term memory. By upgrading your RAM you are increasing the amount of things you can do at one time, it can also boost your computers internet speed. Upgrading a processor is a lot more complicated on a laptop. Ask for professional help. You may have to get a new motherboard if your cpu is not slotted. Which is very complicated, get help from a licensed individual. How to tell if your machine can use these: -Google your model and search max ram. If it says 16gbs then you can run these. -Just to be safe also check your processors max supported RAM. If those are clear then also check what kind of ram you need. You can also find this with your model number. -These are DDR3 ram sticks, which is the standard now a days. Just double check. Now why you would need more ram: -If your a gamer. I do not suggest usong these to try and boost your graphics card. Get a card with at least 1gb dedicated video ram not max. -If your computer is freezing up and your task manager says your memory is almost maxing out. I hope this helps someone. I sadly didn't look up my processor. It maxes at 8gb ram, however luckily my wifes computer had 8gb of the same type of ripjaws. She could handle 16gbs so we just switched, was worth it since my ram was 7 years old. Work great!

Easy plug in and forget it for old alienware alpha r1 pc

I put a set of G.Skill in (32g) in my gaming PC over a year ago. Just put these in my old Laptop to run my CNC machine. Easy install, no issues, quality product. My new go to for memory

Used this kit to upgrade the stock 2x4GB cards in my ASUS laptop (model Q550LF). I verified this kit was compatible with my laptop by checking the processor specs. Intel's ARK website lists the RAM specifications that each processor is compatible with (in my case 16 GB @ 1600 MHz was the most my processor could support). Physical installation was simple (find a video on Youtube to make sure you do this properly!) and it was plug and play from there. My hardware monitor shows it clocks at 1600 MHz and the latency is 9/28, exactly as advertised. I've noticed a performance boost since upgrading - it's no longer sluggish when lots of programs are open. Good memory for the money. Highly recommended!
