    Hi i have 6GB and im upgrading the memory of my l502x to 8GB or maybe 16GB and so far i have some doubts

    1.-What are the memory specs and max Speed?
    2.-Which Brand is the best?
    3.-the L502x really supports 16GB?
    4.-which models should i pick?

    i know that maybe the performance wont be noticeable, and after 8GB there is no benefit due to the limited graphic card or applications, then i found this threads on the internet that shows how the L502x support 16GB.

    How to install RAM into Dell XPS L502X or L501X - YouTube (16GB)

    XPS 15 L502x - Can it handle 16GB RAM? - Laptop General Hardware Forum - Laptop - Dell Community more evidence

    Re: XPS 15 (L502x) with i7-2860QM - 16GB RAM supported? - Laptop General Hardware Forum - Laptop - Dell Community The base reference

    Max memory for mobile i5 and i7 (Intel specs. seemingly contradictory)? intel evidence

    thanks

    I found this model Samsung 8GB M471B1G73BH0-CH9....its the same, like the 4GB that usually dell puts on the machines...will be good to have 12GB but it seems that its only compatible with "MAC"......so it can be used on the Dell L502x???

    Thanks
