Alienware Area-51M R2 memory upgrade

This 8 GB DDR4 SODIMM is built specifically for the Alienware Area-51M R2 laptop. It provides a straightforward capacity increase for owners of that model who need more memory for everyday workloads. The module follows the exact electrical and physical requirements of the target system. Buyers with other laptops or desktop platforms cannot use this part.

JEDEC compliant 260 pin DDR4 SODIMM

The stick uses a standard 260 pin DDR4 SO DIMM edge connector and operates at the JEDEC defined 1.2 V. No heat spreader is fitted so the module stays low profile inside tight chassis spaces. Unbuffered non ECC organisation means it drops into the standard consumer memory slots without configuration changes. Systems that require registered or ECC memory will not accept this module.

3200 MHz CL22 single rank specification

Rated at DDR4 3200 with PC4 25600 bandwidth and CAS latency 22 the module delivers the speed grade the Area 51M R2 expects. Single rank 1Rx8 organisation keeps electrical loading light for stable operation at the rated frequency. Builders who need a different speed grade latency or rank configuration must select another part.
