Hi everyone, first time poster.

I'm interested in upgrading my memory from 16GB to 32GB. I'm currently running an Alienware Aurora R5 model (Intel i5-6400). I opened up the PC and noticed its running a single stick in where 4 slots are available. The current memory is DD4 @ 2133Mhz.

I'm having trouble running finding memory at that speed, the question I have is, if I put in memory at a higher clock speed will that be incompatible? I'm currently looking at this one:

HyperX Fury DD4 @ 2400MHz - 2x16GB (Kit of 2)

Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
It should. Without knowing the exact model of the motherboard, it's impossible to say with any certainty, but it should work without issue.

You won't want to add to your current RAM. Instead, you'll want to replace what is currently installed.

Apologies, that's part of what I was trying to imply. So if I buy that memory kit that I referenced and I replace the memory stick, should it work regardless of the speed?
