Just purchased these for my m14xr1. G.SKILL Model F3-1600C10D-16GSQ Laptop Memory - Newegg.com
Now I'm wondering when I get them if I will have to go into bios and change anything. I'm bios illiterate and hardly know anything about it.

you should be good to go without touching the bios. you might be able to run slightly faster timing if you set them in the BIOS manually, but you shouldn't have any issues running them at stock speeds/timings. I did have to manually set the speeds in the bios with 1866MHz and 2133MHz RAM, which both defaulted to 1600 even though both sets were supposedly plug and play and should have auto-clocked to their rated speeds.

The M14x R1's highest validated RAM configuration is 8gb at 1600Mhz.
