    What kind of RAM do they use to make it run at that speed? Can you post the spec?

    Also, are there any settings in the BIOS to enable XMP or it is through the Alienware Command Center?

    So nothing new ? There has been more bioses in the wild with 2400 MHz+. Check if you can confirm if you can manually OC or reach the RAM tab in AWCC.

    Would be nice if Dell came over the bridge with the bios !

    Good news I guess? Kinda curious if someone has a 2666mhz kit if they can run it at those speeds or if it’s locked in the bios to only run 2400 or 2933?

    I am currently wondering should I go for a ram upgrade too, I got a 2600 kit for 16G Ram by a reseller
    it can only run for 2400, I just learned there is no XMP option now so seems to be useless if I go ahead and buy the Gskill 3200 set, but I remember in the old age we can overclock through software in Windows, we cant do that anymore?
