I've bought a Dell XPS L502x with the following configuration-
i7 2720QM
4GB DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz
500 GB HDD
Nvidia GT 525M

I'm planning to swap my RAM.Planning for 8GB 1600 MHz.Please suggest which brand would be the best for gaming and heavy multimedia purposes.Provide a link if possible :razz:

I think that 1600Mhz will downclock to 1333MHz as the other two RAMs are of that speed. What I would suggest instead is to sell off that and get something like this:

Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G

wow, i didnt know there were enthusiast rams for laptops too.

but i seriously doubt that that alone would give a performance boost of more than 4-5 fps.

Also for gaming opt for GT 540 instead GT 525.
