    I was just wondering if i could swap the 4gb ram stick in m xps 1645 (1333mhz) into my m14x since it only has the 2630qm and will downclock it to 1333mhz anyway. And of course put that 1600mhz 2 gb stick in this one so i can sell it. Will it affect performance at all if i am able to swap?

    Thanks

    It should work without any problems. Although, you won't see a huge difference in performance of daily tasks between 4GB and 6GB.
