Alienware 17 R3 & R4 upgrade kit

This 32 GB kit contains two 16 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM modules built for Alienware 17 R3 and R4 notebooks. Each stick runs at 2400 MHz with CL17 timings at 1.2 V. The unbuffered, non-ECC design fits the 260-pin slots found in those systems.

Dual-channel 2400 MHz CL17 specification

The decisive spec is the matched pair of 2Rx8 modules operating at DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) with 17-17-17 latency. Installing them together enables dual-channel bandwidth, and the system will clock all memory to the slowest installed module or processor limit.

32 GB ceiling for two-slot Alienware chassis

The Alienware 17 R3 and R4 provide only two SO-DIMM sockets, so this kit fills the platform to its 32 GB maximum. Buyers who want more storage or who need a second card for a different form factor cannot use this memory.

Questions about this item

Will 2400 MHz DDR4 run at full speed in my Alienware 17 R3 or R4?

The kit is rated at 2400 MHz, but the actual speed will match the slowest module or the CPU's memory controller limit in the laptop.

Does the 260-pin SO-DIMM interface limit bandwidth compared to desktop DIMMs?

The 260-pin SO-DIMM form factor carries the same DDR4 signalling as desktop modules; bandwidth is set by the 2400 MHz rating, not the pin count.

Do these 16 GB sticks fit the two SODIMM slots in an Alienware 17 R3 or R4?

Yes, each module is a standard 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM without a heat spreader, designed for the two slots in those models.
