I'm awaiting delivery of my Dell XPS 9570 with the i9-8950HK processor. The CPU says it supports up to 64GB memory [0]. The laptop comes with an Intel CM246 chipset [1]. How would I figure out if I can stick two of these sticks into my laptop?

- craftyguy 8y agoYour biggest worry is whether or not your laptop has two DIMM slots, and that the system memory is not soldered down on the system (like in some (all newer?) XPS 13 systems). The CPU and chipset will likely handle it just fine, it's the OEMs you have to worry about, who make crappy design decisions that prevent upgrading.
- jtreminio 8y agoThe 9570 does not come with RAM soldered on. Hopefully I can get an official answer from Dell once this product is released!
- virtuallynathan 8y agoPossibly yes, the included amount is: 32GB DDR4-2666MHz, 2x16GB In theory you could go to 2x 32GB DDR4 2666Mhz.
