    Hello All,

    I have an AW 15 R2 and I would like to upgrade it to 32GB DDR2400

    current specs:

    CPU: Skylake i7 6700HQ @ 2.6
    Ram: 16GB (2x8GB)
    GFX: Intel HD530 / Nvidia GTX 980M
    Display: 4K Screen
    BIOS: 1.3.6

    I currently live in Vietnam, and parts/upgrades are a little pain in the rear to come by. But i am able to find Kingstons HyperX modules here

    Kingston Technology HyperX Impact 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 2400MHz DDR4 CL14 260-Pin SODIMM Laptop HX424S14IBK2/32

    Would this work? Has anyone had any positive outcomes with this setup? or would hunting down another Brand be recommended?

    Thank you verymuch everyone :)
    Lindemann
