Great upgrade for my Dell XPS 15 9550

So I saw this memory for about $120/bar and my heart skipped a beat when I ordered two of these for my new Dell XPS 15 9550 Signature Edition. The goods arrived today and I have replaced my 2x 8GB Hynix memory sticks that came preinstalled with the laptop from the Microsoft store with the 2x 16GB chips that I received. Runs like a CHAMPION. 32 GB RAM, approx. 149 MB of which is reserved for hardware. Since I run a lot of VMs in my Hyper-V on my Windows 10 Pro, this worked really well. I have a Linux box and a Windows 2008 R2 server running in Hyper-V and everything works fine. I did a performance test of a web application in IIS on a windows VM with a mysql backend running on a linux VM and the performance was great working on two instances of visual studio and outlook and microsoft excel . RAM is important. I also turn off my paging file most of the time, and with 32 GB that's actually possible. Thought I'd have to wait a bit for DDR4 memory prices to come down, but this was a great $240 upgrade.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
