Please advise on use of F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL to replace memory in old Dell Studio XPS 435T, max 24gb, 6 banks; DDR3-1600.

Probably 3 banks of 4 today, perhaps another set later. (though I was burned by OCZ with the same plan resulting in incompatible sticks of the same spec'ed memory).

Is this a reasonable move? Tips much appreciated.

I dropped a note to G.Skill and they replied "We don’t think F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL is compatible with your 435T system, please check your user manual or contact Dell to see
If they’re supporting with single sided(high density IC)memory module."

Can give it a try as far as adding a second set - there are no guarantees, never are when mixing packages of DRAM - even of the same identical model - only way to guarantee a set of six sticks will play is buy a single six stick set - (they often cost a bit more than two 3 stick sets but that's because it takes much more testing and flopping sticks to find 6 that will play to spec

Thank you much. I really need figure if the first set is a good fit.
