    Your system will have 4 x 4GB memory modules. All slots will be taken.

    P.S. Nice spelling in the title. :thumbsup:

    That's true, if you want to do 32 GB you will need to acquire all 4 8gb modules.

    1.35v DDR3L ram. Kindly take note you will need them instead of the normal 1.5v DDR3.

    Only upgrade from 16GB to 32GB if you seriously need it for something like running multiple virtual machines concurrently, or something similar that consumes massive quantities of memory. If you are a gamer, 32GB is a waste of money and will do nothing to enhance your gaming experience. In fact, there is even a slim chance that it might have a minor hit on performance.
