    Hi I have just ordered a xps 17 1920 x 1020 gt555m no 3d option which means 2 ram slots.

    The system has a 2730qm CPU which I have heard is compatible with DDR3 1600 ram.

    My question is can I upgrade to 2X4 or 2X8 gig ddr3 1600 on this system?

    Would there be any issues and what would be the best way of doing it?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks
