16GB DDR3 kit for Alienware M17X R3

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules rated at 1333MHz with CL9 timing. It is built specifically for the Alienware M17X R3 notebook and runs at the standard 1.5V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the laptop’s factory memory specification.

DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM limits

The DDR3 1333MHz interface caps throughput at the PC3-10600 bandwidth level. The notebook’s memory controller operates at this speed, so faster 1600MHz modules will downclock to 1333MHz. Four SO-DIMM slots are available, but the platform maximum is 16GB.

16GB capacity and headroom

The 16GB kit fills the system’s maximum supported memory, leaving no room for further expansion. A 64-bit operating system is required to address the full capacity. Buyers who want more storage or memory than 16GB cannot use this platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 GB kit or would a single 8 GB module be enough for my Alienware M17X R3?

The M17X R3 supports up to 16 GB across four slots, so the 2 x 8 GB kit fills half the sockets and leaves room for future expansion if you start with one module.

Will the 1333 MHz rating actually run at that speed once installed in the laptop?

The modules are rated at DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) with CL9 timing; the notebook’s memory controller will run them at that frequency by default.

Does the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface limit the bandwidth I can get from these sticks?

The 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor carries the PC3 10600 signal, so the practical ceiling is the 1333 MT/s data rate of the modules themselves.
