    What is the difference between these? The only thing i can see is a 50 dollar larger hole in your pocket...There cant be anything different is there?

    I think its supposed to be 8gb making run on dual channel.

    The one thats included doesnt say dual channel because its 4+2gb modules.

    Dell is marketing the XPS ram as 800mhz even though it will only run at 667mhz.

    And why would it be shared though? It has a dedicated video card. (that is if saying it is supposed to be an 8 rather than a 6).
