    What brand of memory Delieanware uses for their M15x systems. I had tried Dell chat, and the lady insisted it was Dell who made the memory, I might be wrong but if any of you M15x owners could let me know, I am wondering mostly about the 1333, but also the 1066.

    Thanks in advance, and for the people that would like to politely inform me that this has been asked, perhaps they could also throw the answer to my question in there remarks as well. :)

    the 1066 shows up on my diagnostics as Samsung memory I believe -- just searched again, and I think that was information that was in my BIOS: packaging lists it as:
    P916C Module, Dual In-line Memory Module, 4GB, 1066MHZ, DDR3, 2X2G
    which comes up on google as Kingston
    sorry to not be more definititve

    Ok thanx, Than I will probably upgrade through newegg after all, I'd rather pay 500 for good ram than 300 for budget ram.

    It's cool cow, you're opinion is valid, it's just my outlook on money is this: it comes and goes, and really.. all it is, is just money. God has taken care of me in that department, and all my family and my needs are always met.

    As for memory, I feel more comfortable using memory by Kingston (preferably Hyper X) in my systems, however other major named brands I have used have never given me problems either. In my earlier systems, the value ram has always given me more problems, and not lasted nearly as long.
