Will this memory work?

[CrazyM]

I was planning to purchase the Crucial Ballistix SODIMM RAM kit for my PC. 

The model number I had my eyes on is this: BL2K16G32C16S4B

Reading through reviews on Amazon, I was warned to not buy if I do not have XMP, else the RAM will not run at the advertised speeds and run at something called JEDEC profile. I tried looking via CPU Z and the BIOS setup (F10 on boot) but I couldn't understand if I had XMP or not. Looking at the product description from the manuals didn't help either.

I just wanted to know if my PC can run this memory, and at its advertised speeds and latency, which is the primary reason I wanted to buy it. Here are some specifications of the RAM if required

Hi:

You cannot adjust the memory timings in the BIOS.

The gaming memory has faster timing specs than the standard memory and in many cases it won't work--definitely won't if you try to mix it with the stock memory.

I suggest you stick with the standard Crucial memory (with the green circuit board), and maximize the chances of it working--especially if you want to add it alongside the existing chip.

I intended to replace the stock memory with two crucial sticks for the pairing benefits some sites outlined. Is there still a very low chance of this working as advertised?

Feel free to give it a try.

Unless someone owns your notebook's model series and sees your post, and can confirm the memory you want to buy is 100% guaranteed to work, it will be somewhat of a gamble.
