Dell Precision 7530 memory upgrade
Hi,
I have a Dell Precision 7530 (i7-16Gb RAM-512Gb SSD) and I'm willing to acquire more RAM because 16Gb (2x8) is not sufficient for my usage. I saw compatible 32Go modules and I know this computer can run with up to 128Go RAM and has 4 RAM modules.
If I add 64Go (2x32) RAM, can I let the 2x8 modules (and have 80Go of RAM) or do I have to remove the two modules already installed first ?
Regards,
Florian

So if there is two matching pairs of different sizes with the same frequency (2666Mhz), I'll be able to have 80Go of RAM without any problem?
Thanks for your time.

Excuse me for pushing up the old thread. I have the same question.
Is it possible to use 2x8gb + 2x16gb together?
I'm setting up a used 7530 for a student in Sri Lanka as a Christmas gift...

@Thomas_Kr These are the RAM configs Dell validated for Precision 7530:
- 8 GB - 1 x 8 GB
- 16 GB - 1 x 16 GB
- 16 GB - 2 x 8 GB
- 32 GB - 1 x 32 GB
- 32 GB - 2 x 16 GB
- 32 GB - 4 x 8 GB
- 64 GB - 4 x 16 GB
- 64 GB - 2 x 32 GB
Doesn't mean 48 GB won't work, but there's no guarantee. So be sure to test 2x 8 + 2x 16 thoroughly if you go that way...

Ram will run at the speed of the slowest chip and should be in matched pairs for best results. Crucial is a good place to buy Dell ram--
