Question 1

I have 4 memory slots on my motherboard, and it only came with a 4Gig stick in one of them.  Would this memory be what I need to fill the other 3 slots?  The memory finder says it will, but I want to make sure before I drop a hundred on them.

Accepted Answer

It really depends on your motherboard model and the specs of your existing memory module.

This kit is primarily designed as a "tripe channel" set for motherboards that support that.

If I were you I would just find my motherboard model # and look up the user's manual to determine the possible memory configurations.

You may very well need to match the specs of the module you currently have, or stop using it and go for a dual channel kit such as two 8gb sticks.

Question 2

Will this work for the Dell Studio  XPS 9100?

Accepted Answer

Yup.  I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100 and upgraded with this RAM and it works just fine.

Question 3

I'm really considering buying this, but I was wondering if the memory is supported by the Dell OptiPlex 790 that comes with the Dell 0hy9jp motherboard? I'm pretty confident it will work but I wan't to make sure.

Accepted Answer

I bought that memory for a Intel® LGA1366 socket X58 Chipset Motherboard,
which uses triple channel memory. If your board fits this criteria, THEN IT WILL WORK.
I had no problems from day 1, works like its suppose to.
Does your Dell have six memory slots?
then this is not the correct memory for you.
 "Dell OptiPlex 790 need dual channel memory"
4x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM Dual Channel 1333 MHz non-ECC unbuffered (Max 16GB)

YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9Q-16GBXL

Question 4

Can this RAM be mixed with G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9T-6GBNQ? I have 6GB in a trip please channel setup and am looking to add this 12GB to it. Is it OK to mix? Here is a link to the RAM I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231223

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your motherboard supports 18GB. I would check your owners manual or the manufacturers website to make sure. some motherboards only support 4, 8, or 16GB of ram. some however support 32GB or more. So if your board supports it, the ram IS compatible.
