Welcome to the Dell Community [NAME]  12GB is supported on your laptop.   [URL] And NO you will not lose Dual Channel completely. The first 4GB of the 8GB SIMM will work in Dual Channel mode with the single 4GB SIMM The rest of the 8GB SIMM will run in Single Channel mode. Best regards, U2 NOTE: Dell's BIOS may refer to Dual Channel as Dual Interleave.
Hi, so I have a (2x4gig) ram configuration on my vostro 14. Was wondering if I could remove 1 and replace with an 8gig of same configuration making it 12gigs (slot 1 8gig , slot 2 4gig)   Would it boost my performance or crash my PC?
