My year-old XPS X8500-4726 system board has 4 memory slots for DIMM cards capable of speed 1,600 ns. Mine as bought has 2x4GB + 2x2GB=12GB. Users guide says max supported = 32GB, which would be 4x8GB cards. I have never had a hint of memory shortage, but if you need more than 12GB, you can go to 32GB. Enjoy!

Steve,I've never opened the box to look. The specifications upon purchase was 12 gigabytes. I just checked the System through the Control Panel and, sure enough, the system registers 12 gigabytes.

All four slots are used up I have the same config of 2x2g + 2x4g for a total of 12g. But it is very powerful as is no complaints. For better performance install a msata drive as your primary so drive.

sorry, i can't say for sure how many this Amazon one has because i sent it back since it was windows 8 instead of windows 7...i do know that the ram comes in pairs (of 2g and 4g)...i ended up getting mine from dell which has 2x2g plus 2x4g for 12g with no extra slots so has total of 4 slots.I would suggest writing seller and good luck with that as they did not answer my first inquiry.

There are 4 slots total, each capable of holding up to 8G. Mine shipped with 3 slots in use: 2x4G and 1x2. DIMM DDR3 PC6400 11-11-11BTW, there is a free program; SiSoftware, that will give you all the information on your particular computer (what company made what part etc.) plus benchmark and many other things. It's been around for a long time and has proven itself to me on several computers.

It has 4 ram slots and only supports up to 8gb sticks, so the most you are going to get is 32 gb.

There are 4 RAM slots and the boards max is 16 GB. I bought the computer and added 2 4GB sticks of RAM immediately with no issue making it have 16 GB.

There are 2 RAM slots. Unknown configuration of RAM-probably 2 sticks of 4GM. We purchased an added warranty with lap top so NO modifications may be done thus it isn't possible to provide you the specific configuration. This is an excellent computer BUT, it has no lighted keyboard which this model ought to have had and this model does have if you purchase directly from MSI. This is the cost differential I would imagine for them selling it on Amazon so that there is still profit...only if you were expecting a lighted keyboard for this model, you won't find it on this particular model sold thru Amazon. Still, great computer-runs well!

There are four slots for RAM. You can populate it with 4 8GB RAM modules for a total of 32 GB of RAM. As far as speed (MHz) supported, please refer to the Gigabyte website for the supported types of RAM by maker and speeds supported natively (1600 MHz) and overclocked. I've found that doing this bit of research on Gigabyte motherboards yields good info and a lot less frustration when installing the MB, RAM, CPU, etc. When you stray from the supported RAM you most likely will encounter problems, especially if overclocking. If you know what you're doing, it's a great motherboard. Hope this helps.

It does not come supplied with RAM... you need to add this; there are two empty slots; fill one or both but either way, you gotta buy RAM!

Four ram slots are availabe. Two below keyboard and remaining two available at the back. Each slot can take 8GB ram. Generally depending on configuration MSI will fill up RAM slots below keyboard, while the slots at back are empty.

Sorry for not having the answer. I haven't added more RAM, but I need to do it. I will check it soon and I will let you know.

It came with 8 GB DDR3 Ram, and 1 TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive. Sorry I can't answer how many slots as I have not opened the case. BUT, I can tell you this, it has incredible speed. I hope this helps. Best regards

In my opinion go with the higher number RAM which, in this case, is 8G. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. It came pre-installed with 4G, then I went online, bought more memory and upgraded it to 8 myself. You save alot of $$ by doing it that way.

You can use up to 2 GB per slot, so the max would be 8 GB (up to PC2-6400 speed), I have not tried 4 GB memory in one slot, it may work, but isn't officially supported.

HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan

2GB, I upgraded mine by adding in a 8GB chip to make it 10GB. The second slot is kind of hard to get to but if you can you can upgrade it to 16GB
