Which memory kit did you buy to upgrade memory to 16GB? There are several and I do not want to buy the wrong pair.

Did you already buy this PC? In the small, printed user manual there is a qualified vendors list of DDR3 1600 MHz memory for the VM40B.

They only have 2 slots for memory, I know you can get 8 gb sticks, I don't know if there are 16 gb stick of memory available

I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there.So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

I am interested in the same: what brand to upgrade to for 2X2gb; also, in what aspects did you notice an improvement?

Use whatever you want to use,as long as it's compatible with the MB. I purchased A-DATA Premier Pro Series 16 GB Kit (8 x 2) DDR3 1600Mhz CL11 Dual Channel with HS Desktop Memory with heatsink AD3U1600W8G11-DRH when I built mine.

Peter, what brand/model/spec were the 2X2 GB? I'd like to upgrade mine also to 4 GB.

It is best to pair matching memory. So you'll want to buy another 4gb stick if that's what you currently have. Make sure the frequency is the same too, the majority will be 1600MHz. If you want to be sure you'll need to look up manufacturers specs online for look on your existing memory or it might be on the memory itself. Hope that helps.

You should probably look up the manual.... the 16 GB (if I recall correctly) is not supported, only a maximum of 8 GB.

I was actually considering spending the extra $130 for another 2gb... Too bad it won't work. Thanks for the help!

I am also wondering the same thing. But I don't think there should be any difference between the 8GB and 16GB models

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Hello, you can see what Crucial GB Memory Chips will both fit your computer, and how much Memory it can expand to at this URL: http://www.crucial.com/ Run the "System Scanner Tool", and then choose what it is exactly you want to Upgrade to, depending on price and capacity. You can then purchase these parts from Crucials Website Directly, or look for a better price on Amazon, just make sure they are in fact the same Modules, (PARTS) from either site.

The inbuilt memory i have never tried, but should not be too long. I've ordered the 64GB SD card with it, you will have a few hrs recoring with that. Inbuilt memroies are always just a few MB...Greg

I typically buy Corsair memory and have never had any problems. Kingston is good but usually higher priced.
