    Out here in India, RAM ain't so inexpensive so I was wondering if I could put a

    CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Upgrade Kit Model CMSX16GX3M2B1600C9

    into my XPS m1730. Is it compatible? I don't mind even if the speed is limited to 800 mhz coz it seems cheaper than the ddr2s available here. Thanks in advance.
