    Hello, I'm interested in buying the m15x off the Dell website, but I've heard it is better to buy the RAM separately. I was wondering if I ordered the m15x with 3GB or RAM, if I will be able to upgrade it to 8 GB of dual-channel RAM later on? Also could someone direct me to a compatible RAM on newegg?
    Another question I have is if I should order the SSD advertised on the Alienware website, or if should purchase my own. I was going to purchase the "Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC256MAG-1G1 2.5" or the 128 GB model from newegg, but would it be compatible?
    Thank you for your help!
