RAM upgrade for Alienware m11x

[Kruze]

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for 16 gig upgrade of ram on my alienware m11x laptop. I am new to this computer stuff so I don't want to buy something that isn't compatible with my laptop. My budget is $200.

What does the spec for the laptop say re: ram? no. dimms, speeds, no. channels?

I have an i7 processor, 4 gigs of ram, and a nvidia geforce gt 335m graphics card if that helps.

You didn't answer any of my questions. You're on your own. Good luck.

Unfortunately, it seems that your laptop can accomodate max. 8GB of DDR3-1333, so a pair of 4GB. You could try 8GB DIMMs, but they are not officially supported, so it will be trial-and-error.

If you really need 16 GB, go to a computer shop and ask them nicely to try some 8GB So-DIMMs; it is possible that dual-rank DIMMs could work on your laptop, something like these:
