Alienware Alpha Ram Compatibility

[Theerix]

So I've been wanting to get this Alienware system to play a some of my controller friendly games in the living room.

 

~Link to the system: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-alpha/pd?oc=dkcwa05hw10&model_id=alienware-alpha

 

These games are not power hungry but more ram would be nice. This is the ram I'm planning to buy.

 

~Link to the ram: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Laptop-Memory-CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9/dp/B006EWUOL8/ref=pd_sim_147_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51%2BEHiBPGzL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1ZQPFM5PJSNV11BNWH88

 

In the description of this ram is says "8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 SODIMM kit for 2nd Generation Intel Core i5 and i7 notebooks." 

 

 

So dose this mean it wont be compatible with the Alienware system that comes with an Intel® Core™ i3-4170T Processor Dual-Core (3MB Cache, up to 3.2 GHz)  ???

 

 

If the ram is not compatible with the system then can I be given suggestions to what ram would be compatible.

 

 

THANK YOU!!!

its compatible but its cheaper to just build a system

its better to build one yourself but il go for it anyway

 

the RAM is DDR3 SODIMM which are rated for 2nd generation of intel core i5 and i7 notebooks

it may work, or not

not entirely sure but i believe so

I think that he should then just build a normal sized computer then, since its easier to fit the components in, then buy a steam link, or maybe use nvidias homestream option

It'll work, but in my opinion, Alienware is overpriced and overhyped. I'd recommend building a system yourself for the same amount of money. You could get something that would perform better

Looks like you need DDR3L (low voltage) for that system... so normal DDR3 MAY not work...

Ridiculous overpriced for its Power.
