What memory can I buy considering what I already have?

2x Samsung 8GB 1Rx8 PC4-2400T-SA1-11 are the memory modules I current have installed on my laptop. I bought this Laptop brand new with these already installed. I want to upgrade to 2x 16GB modules but I don't want to buy something they won't work for any reason. I want to buy ones that are 3200MHz preferably.

Can you post full system specs (i.e. screenshot of HWiNFO)? There's no point in buying RAM that runs faster than your system can support. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

Probably, I just wanted chipset and CPU information so I can find out the max speed of RAM he could use.

Based on ASUS's website: Intel® HM175 Express Chipset.

 

RAM: 2 x SO-DIMM socket , up to 32 GB SDRAM

 

@Citrusflavour01Looks like for you it's 32GB max. I'll have to dig a bit deeper regarding the maximum supported RAM speed.
