Before you mark this as duplicate, I request you go through my question in detail as I have some very specific question regarding the RAM upgrade on my Dell XPS15 L502X. And please bear with my lack of understanding of these things, I have no experience of dealing with such things first hand.
The below is a screen-shot of memory from CPU-Z
From this it is clear that it is dual channel - which is good. The next is screen shot from specification of i5 2450M
CPU running on this laptop.
And here are my specific questions
- On the specification screen shot, what does
1066/1333
mean? Does that play any role in determining whether additional RAM can be supported by this processor? - Processor support max of 2 channels but how do I find out if there actually are 2 channels?
- What is ECC memory? As the spec says it is not supported, should I be looking for non-ECC RAM?
- Do I also need to check my motherboard specification to confirm that the motherboard supports additional RAM? If yes, how do I check that?
