Well, I am waiting for my Alienware m15x, and I was thinking of add some memory.

I think of buying 2 Dimms :

Well, if you opened alaptop before then you shouldnt face any problem, otherwise let some expert do it for you because im sure, you dont like to spoil your laptop.

Unscrew the panel that shields the RAM. Press the two lever things that hold each DIMM in, away from each other. The DIMM should raise up at an angle and then you just pull it out.

It will look like this:
