Not 100% sure because I sold it to a client, but I believe that it has 4 RAM slots and can take a PCI express vid card.

By your question you're probaby more of a computer whiz than myself. Thus, probably the best ones who can answer your question are the Dell people themselves. Nevertheless I'm very pleased with my Dell Optiplex 780 Tower. I'm especially pleased with Windows 7.

I have two of this model. I have 4 memory slots (using 2 with 4 gb ram) I also have a NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE [Display adapter] installed. If you know the particular motherboard that's used, you can find all the information needed. They are very nice little computers. Quiet and run cool.

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

just so the record is set straight on the max ram for this system it is 4GB not 2GB, i have 2 systems of this type one with and one without the external gpu. both of which i have upgraded to 4GB (though the system only shows 3.25GB). that being said the the system with the integrated graphics was picky about it's ram sticks. I ended up actually putting one of my older sticks from the other system in it along with one of the new one's I had bought in it, but they both work fine after that.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

Memory can be expanded to 8GB. You can install a low profile video card in the unit. The unit will be ready to use out of the box. Thanks

I am not 100% positive, but I Believe the max is 16GB (I have also seen conflicting reports between 8 and 16) but most places agree there are only 2 slots (so 2 8GB chips for a max of 16). I only saw 2 when I opened it up to add my additional RAM.

HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan

The listing is incorrect, it appears Amazon may have accidentally put the video RAM on there as there is 2GB of vRAM. There is 8GB (1x8GB) system RAM. We will bring this to their attention to get corrected.

funny thing is there isn't really any slots to hold ram cardswho would build such a device??

It does not come supplied with RAM... you need to add this; there are two empty slots; fill one or both but either way, you gotta buy RAM!

2GB, I upgraded mine by adding in a 8GB chip to make it 10GB. The second slot is kind of hard to get to but if you can you can upgrade it to 16GB

It has 4 ram slots but remember that it can only be used with a few very specific types of memory. Get the board and carefully look at the list of memory products that are certified to work with that particular mb.

It has 2 slots for 204 pin DDR3L RAM. It supports 16GB of total memory, so I installed 2 8GB sticks on mine. Installation was a breeze and worked like a charm.

Only 2 of the slots are for DDR2. I've Tried both memory speeds with this board and there was a big difference in the way media center ran in windows 7. Scrolling through the menus was much smoother using ddr3. I was using 2gb ddr2 800 then switched to 2gb ddr3 800.

hmmm...I've no idea if there is an open memory slot, but the installed memory(RAM) is 8.00G

I only saw 2 slots when I added a RAM card. Crucial.com says 8gb, so I only added another 4gb card. I haven't tried anything higher, though.

Hello Carlos, This laptop has 2 Memory slots and it can support RAM up to 8GB DDR3. Currently it has 1 slot occupied by a 4GB chip and the other slot is empty. Please let me know if you have any more questions! Sincerely, Rafael
