How To Install Memory In Dell Precision M4500

Disclaimer! AFAIKYous may install 16GB of RAM for QuadCore arrangement only! If y'all have DualCore processor it'south limited to 8GB.

Yesterday I accept got my upgrade kit from Germany, the 1TB HDD and 16GB RAM. Surprisingly, bundle arrived in two weeks, I was very pleased.

Luckily this RAM suited well my DELL, though it is for MACs. As I take read before, DELL laptop is a bit tasty about retentivity modules only as MacBooks do.

So I establish out that Crucial modules works well for DELL.

Though I could not get kit specifically marked as "for DELL" from Crucial brand, simply I managed to get Crucial's "for Mac" one with the same specs (DDR3 1333MHz CL9) and it works!

Ok, now power on, go to BIOS (press F2) and check for installed RAM.

If everything'due south fine, boot up Windows to check it out if Windows works well with your new RAM.

Seems Ok, 16GB of spare memory.

Equally for ratings, memory rating rised up a bit – from 7,3 to vii,iv with new dimms. Previously I had 1066 RAM installed, and now 1333 i.

Next step should exist installing Win7 onto mSATA SSD and replacing HDD with new one.

Actually I've already installed Win7, simply I'g lazy (or have no time) to spent hours installing lots of Dell drivers, uhrrrr.

BTW, if you similar me desire to install Win7 onto mSATA bulldoze, pull out your HDD drive! Or you will go Win7 spreaded over both drives – some here, some there. Only for annotation 🙂
