4 Things to Know About Dell XPS 8930 RAM Upgrades

The XPS 8930 uses standard desktop DIMMs, not laptop memory. This means you can buy common, affordable DDR4 sticks from any retailer.

It supports DDR4 memory up to 2666 MHz. Faster RAM will be downclocked to this speed, so don’t pay extra for higher-rated kits.

The motherboard has four DIMM slots with a 64GB maximum. You can install four 16GB sticks or mix smaller capacities to reach the limit.

Four slots allow you to start with a smaller configuration and upgrade later. You can keep your existing sticks when adding more, instead of replacing everything.
