Additional Notes
- The MSI 15 Sword A11UE-015AU uses SO-DIMM form factor memory, which is a laptop-specific standard that is not compatible with desktop DDR4 modules. Desktop DDR4 UDIMM memory will not physically insert into the available slots.
- DDR4-3200 MHz represents the rated speed specification, but actual performance depends on Intel 11th generation processor support. Compatibility verification against specific processor SKU is required before purchase, as some configurations may downclock memory to lower supported frequencies.
- The 2 SO-DIMM slot configuration limits practical upgrade pathways. Removing both factory-installed modules and replacing with 32 GB modules each reaches the 64 GB maximum. Keeping existing memory and adding a single module creates asymmetric dual-channel operation, resulting in reduced bandwidth and increased latency relative to matched-pair installations.
- DDR4-3200 MHz memory bandwidth is shared between CPU and integrated graphics. Video-intensive applications may experience memory contention if the iGPU is assigned substantial VRAM, reducing available bandwidth for system RAM operations.
- The 64 GB addressable limit is determined by BIOS/firmware constraints rather than inherent DDR4 architecture limitations. BIOS updates from MSI may alter this ceiling, but such modifications are infrequent for 11th generation mobile platforms.
- After-market SO-DIMM upgrades typically void manufacturer warranty unless performed by authorized service centers. Verification of warranty terms specific to this model is necessary before opening the system.
