Hello, I would like to buy the following memory expansion?
https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/kingston-value-ram-1x-8gb-ddr3l-1600-sodimm-204-ram-770781

I need the memory for a Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 laptop.
This is the original memory.

https://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/dell-arbeitsspeicher-upgrade-2gb-1rx16-ddr3l-sodimm-1600mhz/apd/a7568815/arbeitsspeicher

Is this memory compatible with Kingston memory from Digitec, see link above with my laptop ?

The following memory configuration is allowed according to the manual. see below.
I just don't understand Maximum memory is 4GB and memory configurations are up to 8GB.
Is it now possible to use an 8 GB RAM bar?

Many thanks Best regards Tom Liebau

Accepted Answer

Hello, a total of 8 GB is supported, divided between two sockets. That means a maximum of one 4 GB RAM per socket.

Answer

Hello, thank you very much for your info. Then the only question would be whether this RAM would fit? [Kingston Value RAM (1x, 4GB, DDR3L-1600 (PC3-12800), SODIMM 204)](https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/kingston-value-ram-1x-4gb-ddr3l-1600-pc3-12800-sodimm-204-ram-770779?supplier=406802&tagIds=76)

DELL recommends this RAM module. Unfortunately they only have 2GB.

I compared the specs, but I'm not 100% sure if the Kingston RAM from Digitech will work. Should actually.

Can you perhaps help me further in this regard?

Best thanks
