Re: i been reading that Intel 4th Generation  only uses DDR3L Can i use simple DDR3 and not DDR3L in my 87000? Can i use DDR3L in my 8700? Would it be a better choice to get 16GB or DDR3L over DDR3? You can use either ddr3 or ddr3L in 8700, and neither is better choice than the other. Both will perform at standard voltage of DIMM slot in 8700.  ddr3L ram is compatible with both regular n low voltage DIMM slot.  On the other hand you may not use ddr3 in motherboard that mandates ddr3L. Re: Does the XPS 8700 run with CL 10? Can i mix them up? Having CL11 and CL 10 together? Or would it be just better to forget about my old RAM and stick with the two new 8 GB's RAM better not use mixed ram of different latency.  
So my XPS 8700 that i got back in 2014 had an issue a few months ago where a 2 GB RAM stick stopped working, so instead of using 12GB that it came with im now using 3 modules, two sticks of 4 GB each and one of 2 GB. I been thinking lately about upgrading my RAM, maybe even getting 2 new 8 GB sticks to put in 16 GB's but i have a lot of questions hopefully someone can help me. Im looking at some regular Kingston HyperX RAM sticks, but they do have a tiny little different specification that they are CL 10 against the one my XPS 8700 has since it arrived which is CL 11. Does the XPS 8700 run with CL 10? Can i mix them up? Having CL11 and CL 10 together? Or would it be just better to forget about my old RAM and stick with the two new 8 GB's RAM i mentioned? Every other specification is the same as the RAM that i got from DELL, DDR3 at 1600 Mhz. Another thing, i been reading that Intel 4th Generation  only uses DDR3L and the Kingston RAM i saw is only DDR3? Can i use simple DDR3 and not DDR3L in my 87000? I think i can because checking my RAM voltage with CPUZ it says that the voltage is 1.5, but i rather ask. Can i use DDR3L in my 8700? Would it be a better choice to get 16GB or DDR3L over DDR3? Sorry for these many questions and i really appreciate your help.
