Alienware M18x Compatible – Easy Configuration – Runs at rated speeds.,
Just after 4 cycles of Memtest (still running), the Corsair Vengeance is running strong. I installed it on my M18x, and upgraded it from 4GB 1600MHz (2 DIMMs) to 8GB 1866MHz (2 DIMMs).
The timings are tigher than the popular Kingston HyperX 1866 Plug and Play, and also around 25 cheaper. The only thing that had me slightly worried was that some BIOS do not permit any configuration to the RAM, which almost swayed me toward the HyperX Plug and Play since it is suppose to “auto-overclock”.
For this Cosair RAM, there are two XMP Profiles built in – if you have a BIOS that permits configuration to the RAM, it is as simple as selecting the second profile an saving. My system had no issues recognizing both the speed and capacity of the RAM.
Edit: Now I am satisfied – 8 continuous cycles of memtest!

|OUTSTANDING MEMORY!!,
Like the customer Minnus (see his review below mine), I too replaced my Kingston Hyper-X 1600Mhz SODIMM DDR3 with this memory in my Alienware M18X gaming laptop and never looked back! Memory latencies for this memory are tighter @ 10-10-10-27 @ 1T Commmand Rate vs the comparible Kingston Hyper-X 1866Mhz SODIMM DDR3 @ 11-11-11-28 @ 1T. However, the price for the Kingston HyperX 1866Mhz SODIMM memory kit was reduced recently and is now slightly cheaper than this kit at $84 vs $92 for the Corsair Vengeance kit. Regardless, IMHO this kit is superior in performance and thus worth the extra $8.
The only thing I would warn potential buyers about is to make sure that your laptop hardware configuration can take advantage of this memory kit’s exclusive performance benefits. Only the newest Intel 2nd generation Sandy Bridge Core i7 mobile CPUs (2720QM, 2760QM, 2820QM, 2860QM, 2920XM, and 2960XM) can fully harness the higher 1600Mhz and 1866Mhz memory kit clock speeds.

|Excellent.,
This is by far in my opinion, the best ram you can get for the price. It is very high quality and performs extremely well.
