Just ordered an Alienware M11x

[Peter L]

So I've ordered the Alienwares M11x, and I've been wondering...

The laptop will be used mainly for rendering projects, graphics, animations, etc...

I chose to have 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz for an extra £100, but I'm not sure if that does what I think...

I chose it over the 2GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz hoping it would give me more memory to store my files and stuff, I really don't know anything about computer hardware though so I could be miles off.

Just wondering what does having 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz actually do? (In comparison to only 2GB).

Also, any tips on how to increase the performance of software would be great.

Thanks,

Jack

You should have gotten a slightly bigger size if you're doing the work on it you mentioned.

It'll still run, though. And it doesn't store files btw, thats your harddrive.
