    I have a XPS L501x Intel i5-460M i brought some memory to update the system, ( 2 X 4GB 1333MHz) but its only showing up as 1066MHz in the bios. Is this a limitation of the Processor or can i change something in the bios to enable it.

    Arrandale Core i series processors (i3/i5/dual core i7) only natively support 1066 RAM.
