    I did a memory upgrade from stock 4gb to 8 gigabyte
    I bought the Kingston 8 gb hyperx 1600 mhz CL9.

    After succesful installation 3dmark show the memory runs 663 mhz instead of 1600 mhz. I tried to set it up in Bios manually but it still runs on 663 mhz.
    Also 3dmark only see the standard graphic card instead of using the Nvidia.

    Got the same Memory Kit in my M14x, i had to activate the XMP2 Profile in Bios. Its in the Overclock Section, pretty far down and a little bit hidden.
