Here is the detail from that page... Based on this, the RAM isn't upgradeable, but might need to search on that because is looks like the 8gb is a sodimm that might be replaceable.
>> Edit: Confirmed on a laptop in my hands that the RAM is 3200mhz

Current status: The Ryzen 7 version arrived Monday, was set up, and has been rock solid with wifi speeds consistently around 200mb/s. I asked my daughter not to install anything and for two days it was great and handled YouTube, Netflix ad Roblox with ease.
Fast forward to install the Sims. The next speed test dropped all the way to 45 mb/s. This is with nothing running except the web browser. Tested on Chrome and Edge with similar results.
What is it in the Sims that would be causing this issue? Does the install change a setting? Even with the previous laptop uninstalling the Sims and even factory resetting did not solve the issue. It makes zero sense. I have yet to review or modify the Realtek card settings yet as suggested by others in this thread. I'm baffled and exhausted.
LoL
Please tell me this is a joke. lol
Alienware shouldn't have the limitations that this one has.
4GB (soldered) + 4GB (out of 16GB stick) = 8 GB dual channel
12 GB (16GB - 4GB for dual channel) = 12 GB single channel
8 GB dual channel + 12 GB single channel = 20 GB total RAM
See https://serverfault.com/questions...erf
You would have 20GB with 8GB in DC. Any amount over 8GB total = 8GB of DC plus leftover in single channel.

You would have 24GB with 8GB in DC. Any amount over 8GB total = 8GB of DC plus leftover in single channel.
There were subreddits with folks selling licenses but apparently the comments were its cheaper and easier on ebay.
