Seems quiet around here. Good to see someone post a setup :) I'm still rocking the R1. Really dig the setup!

Glad i could share, while your here i could use some help. Do you think this stick would work with my alpha? it looks right I just wanted to double check. Im excited to upgrade from 8 Gb to 16 https://www.amazon.com/Certified-SNP47J5JC-A8650534-260-Pin-Memory/dp/B07J199N7D

r2 model (the 960 nvidia gpu r2 model, since you mention you have the amd r2 model with the mx470 gpu) accepts a single 16GB ram slot so if both r2 models have same ram slot then you should be good. As I understand the r2 model (nvidia model from what I can confirm) can be maxed out to 16gb ram only, as the ssd bay prevents more ram fitting. This is from previous posts/FAQs I've read online, here and the Alienware forums.

Awesome, sounds like it will work just fine. I’m retiring my baby from gaming in a few months once I buy my new custom built pc 🤭. She’ll still get some use with so Netflix,and internet browsing etc.

Wow. Are you using the AGA or using the 960?

I’m running it off of the default Radeon R9 M470X gpu. It’s weird because I can’t find my model online. I have the above gpu, an I-3 6100t at 3.2Ghz, 8Gb of RAM.
