[SOLVED] Compatible memory for alienware 17

[XxSeiferxX]

I recently bought an alienware 17 at an auction. It doesn't have any ram and I'm having issues finding the right ram to buy. Also can I just use the 2 banks on the bottom or do I need to remove the keyboard to access the other 2 banks for it to work.

What is the exact model number?

What is the exact model number?

It just says 17 on the back. It has a P18e in another spot.
Crucial shows CT102464BF160B
I also found on 8GB DDR3 PC3L-12800 204pin CL=11 DDR3-1600 1.35V SODIMM on memorystock. Both sites say they are compatible but I don't know how to check and dell was no help.

I would go with the crucial since they guarantee compatibility.
