    Hi guys, I have an alienware m11x r3 (i5 version) with 4GB ram. I am trying to upgrade, but I'm not sure if there are two 2GB memory sticks, or just one 4GB stick in my system. Is there any way I can determine this? Also, how do I know which ram is compatible with my m11x? I was thinking about buying this one:

    Buy the Crucial 4096MB PC10600 DDR3 SODIMM Laptop RAM at TigerDirect.ca

    Would this work with my system?

    Pop open the back cover and it's right there, there are only 2 slots and if you purchased 4GB from Dell then they would have given you 2x2GB.
