need help installing a new ram (total noob)

[blurryfacexx21]

i actually have an alienware 15R4 right now. i have a 8 gig stick right now. i don't know which ram is compatible with my laptop. I'm looking at this right now (https://www.ramcity.com.au/ram/ddr4/2666/sodimm/ct8g4sfs8266). i have a 2400 mhz ram in my laptop so does it work if i put in a 2666mhz ram? can someone check and confirm if this'll work on my laptop. i did some research on the types of rams and all but i'm not smart enough to know which one i should go for. pls suggest. thankyou in advance

yes but its pointless extra 200mhz or what ever it is and thats with a intel cpu, if it was a AMD maybe yeah but imo its a pointless upgrade as intel cpu's don't take nearly half as well as what amd cpu's do in mhz increase

thankyou. so i should just get a 2400 mhz stick? also, i found the one with 2600mhz to be cheaper than the one with 2400. will it have any bad effects if i use 2600 with 2400?

Yes don’t got different MHz, only buy pairs

i couldnt understand. lemme explain, the ram with 2666 MHz is cheaper than 2400 MHz. so should i spend more and get the 2400 or just buy 2666 cheaper?

But what are the ram timings on both ? Of course go with 2666 but the timings may be higher than the 2400.
