Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Ddr3 ram recommendations please
Have a dell m4700 running windows 10 pro at 32 bit in process of upping to 64bit as we speak I am going to be upgrading the ram from 4gb to 32gb and installing a ssd or the fire cuda from seagate as well. Is the simplest route to just grab the crucial and move on? Or any other brands that have a good reputation? Thanks in advance

I picked up the firecuda and when I tried to do the first install my boot media and or /dell doesn't find the hdd working on that right now

I'm finding the last sentence confusing... are you saying that it is good to go or it doesn't see the hdd?
If that latter, what error(s) do you get? Have you checked BIOS settings?

I have the quad chip already checked that. My concerns are space seeing as it is a laptop a monster in form factor but still a laptop
with some of the fancy heat sink Ram pucks I don't know if they will fit or not. I am reading as much as I can find but know there are is a lot of knowledge on the forum

Samsung, Kingston, Crucial are all good. I would put 32gb in, it is a waste (unless you are running Hyper-V, VMware, 3DX rendering). 16gb will do everything you need. Match pairs are always best.
Performance on SSD is really just splitting hairs. A Samsung EVO will be plenty fast. >$200
Remember, computers are not guns, you will never get any of your money out of it. Whether a $4000 or $400 computer, they will all be worth $10 in a few years. I advise people to save upgrade money for the next machine and replace them every 3-5 years or so.

If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
This was my penny saving upgrade haha my last one was made in 07.
I can definitely get into 16 gb much cheaper than 32
What about the firecuda? 2 tb for what I can get into a 500gb Samsung

2TB of SSD is great, but when it goes, it's gone. I'd suggest looking into not storing everything on the SSD and having a few backup external HDDs for "can't lose" items, along with cloud storage of "definitely cannot lose" items.

8gb is SSD the rest is a spinner...its one of those hybrid drives.
I have used Crucial in my last 4 or 5 builds and have had no issues. My windows 10 machine boots up super fast with 8gb ram and an I3. I am actually quite impressed and I hate windows.
Oh, interesting. How does it partition everything then, as far as OS needs?
