Even with a big recording project with a lot of MIDI I've never seen the memory usage go over 9GB RAM. The system configuration lists the Dell part number of the memory module (s) and the number of modules in the system. Looking at the Dell sales site for the XPS 8940 I see both 2x8GB and 1x16GB are available. You can't mix ddr4 and ddr3. So not with what you have. You can mix different capacities and speeds of same generation. All ram would run at slowest speed though. Also your motherboard doesn't support ddr3 and you should check maximum amount of ram it can support.
Nope, as there are no guarantees when mixing packages of DRAM, if it was as easy to mix as many want you to believe the makers would simply sell single sticks and make more money - they test sticks to pair up ones that will play before packaging. You can pull twopo sticks right off an assembly line and they might or might not play.
Alternatively, the existing memory could be completely replaced with a new purchased RAM kit such as 16GB (2 x 8GB) or 32GB (2 x 16GB). Final Thoughts While it is technically possible to mix RAM brands, doing so can cause various problems.
Yeah totally, its better if the specs of the sticks are as similar as possible, but its often not an issue. I bought some DDR2 RAM for m current system which has 8GB RAM in total with each 2GB stick being from different brands, but the specs were exactly alike so I got em all to work, even OC'd all of them from 667 MHz to 800MHz on an intel board.
There should have been an indent in the shell on both sides of the cover for grasping to open the cover." Junky007 said: "I also recently purchased the Aspire 5 A515-44-R4M5 which has 8GB Ram, one 4GB DDR4 (2666V) Ram chip soldered into the MB and one open slot with one 4GB DDR4 Ram chip.

can you mix 8gb ram with 16gb ram
