If it only supports 2 channels, I'll just buy 2 16gb modules

and it will not work, because ddr3 modules for 16gb do not work on the 4th generation intel. you need at least broadwell and that depends on the implementation of the bios of a particular laptop.
so count on 16 gigabytes maximum in case of 4890hq

Even then I believe those were only for desktops no?

16 gigabyte ddr3 modules? no they are available for laptops, but the only problem is that 3rd and 4th generation intel does not want to work with them. amd processors of the same time can easily understand them.

@panda_zzzHello. Did you manage to get your RTX 4060 MXM to work on your Dell Precision M4800 and on your M17X R4?

 

I found another manufacturer called PELADN. They make cheaper RTX 4060 and 4070 MXM cards.

on m17x r4 4060m works well, on m4800 I didn't even try because the consumption of more than 100w is obviously too much for the latter. I tried all video bios with reduced tdp for 4060, but apparently they need 4g decoding which is not available on these laptops. maybe on 7520 the card would work like that.

Hello okay. Do you have any experiences on PELADN MXM GPUs? They also sell RTX Ampere for a cheaper price.

 

If so, possible for you to dump the vBios and upload it?

No, I didn't see any mxm modules on their website.

It's on Alibaba actually. They sell RTX 4060, 4070 all 60W

This is a lottery game with the Chinese. if you are ready to lose the price of the card you can try, but no one will give you any guarantees even ghostly as in the case of x-vsion or zrt.

No they are older than the other two companies and comparing the 4060 design of zrt it is in my opinion much better.

They make SODIMM 16gb DDR3 modules ;3

Yeah, and it seems that they are making some interesting stuff even outside of the MXM GPU market

Peladn is here since 20 years ago too

Someone here got 16gb modules working on an M6800 however the real issue is the cost as very few are going to pay around $200 a module just to hit 64gb.

I found one for 25€ lol. I got one on hand. It's detected on HWINFO but the bios won't take it. (Clevo X7200)

Any proof? Plus, they don't have the mhm modules on their official website.

can I get a link to confirm that the m6800 was able to boot with this memory?

I think there is a difference here plus do not forget that clevo x7200 is built on a desktop chipset, which is not typical for ordinary laptops including m4800|m6800.

I think I need an Eurocom BIOS to get the module recognised. On eBay I bought that Crucial DDR3L 1600MHz 2Rx8 module for 25€. Originally, they cost between 50-80€...
