There are four 240 pin slots. You may use 1, 2, or 4 slots, with a maximum of 8Gb in a slot.

According to the manual, you can... but why one? Dual channel with two is usually faster.

Yes! You should have 4 slots for DDR3 memory. Just pull the two current and replace with these. Depending on what you are coming from, should be a nice improvement.

The are four memory (RAM) slots on this model and two of them will be filled with 1GB memory on each.Only one hard drive can be installed on this small form factor tower.If you are planning to add a secondary 250GB Hard drive, please look for full/mini tower size Optiplex, which will have room for two hard drives.

This memory will work in that and any mainboard with the PCI memory slots - but - it will run only at the 400 MHz frequency. This might drag down your performance. This memory is safest for compatibility, especially older mainboard that have a 4GB limit with only two open slots.

You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

My guess here is that both slots (2) need to have the same amount of RAM. Since this laptop comes with 4GB, unless you replace it also, your max would be 8GB. However, if you purchase 2 DIMMs you could have as much as 2*8GB=16GB of RAM.

You can get two 4 GB sticks of memory instead. Here is the Amazon link. Good luck. Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)Willis (Bill) Van Gorder

Someone else already posted a link to this board's manual, and your question is answered there: "Four 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module" single or dual channel. Up to 8GB supported.

There are two memory slots which can take 2@4BG or 2@8GB. It comes with one slot taken at 4GB. I added a second so now have 8BG. It was easy You will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

It supports 8 GB of DDR3 memory or 8 GB of DDR2 memory, but not both at the same time. You have to decide which type of memory to install.If you use a CPU with a FSB (Front Side Bus) of 1333 MHz and DDR3-1333 memory with it you need to move the FSB Jumper from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3. Please see page 18 of the User Manual.

32 gb ram memory is supported.... 4 x 1.5v ddr3 dimm support up to 32 gb memory... on gigabyte motherboard ga-990fxa-ud7

There are 4 total slots with max 8gb per slot. The total maximum is 32gb. Depending on exact model, 2 slots are filled with 2x 8gb sticks, 1x 8gb 1x 4gb, or 2x 4gb sticks. The top models come with all 4 slots filled 4x8gb sticks and 32gb total. The lower models "should" come with 2x 4gb sticks (allowing dual channel), but they 'might' come with a single 8gb stick.

I think the easy answer is no I don't think you will have problems. but it's a little complex sometimes. You should check the memory compatibility for your motherboard. Also if you have 3 or 4 memory slots using 1 8gb stick with 2 4gb stick will half the speed of your memory I think because it runs at double speed when in pairs. If you do two 8gb sticks everything will be fine but if you use 2 8gb sticks and the 2 4gb sticks you might actually hit the memory cap for your motherboard which is 16gb in some cases. Sorry for long answer hope it helped some.

1 4GB kit would max the ram capacity in theory, but you can add a 8GB and make the system 12GB. I have seen this work and Windows recognizes this with no problem. Apparently the empty slot can accommodate max 8GB. The system has one empty slot.

Using the same memory (Corsair XMS3), you should be able to to use 2-2GB sticks with 2-4GB sticks, for a total of 12GB of memory. Be sure to balance the memory in the A and B slots as per your manual. As Bret mentioned go to the Corsair site to find if the memory is compatible with your motherboard.

Hi Cet,There weren't a lot of computers that were built to accept the DDR2 4GB module. Being a rare part, it is quite expensive. ***Please verify that your machine can take a 4GB module before purchasing.*** I have included a link below to the 4GB DDR2 module. 4GB DDR2-667-PC2-5300 240 pin Desktop RAM Memory Upgrade by Arch MemoryThanks,TrishCustomer CareArch Memory

It has 2 slots. Comes with 2x4gb sticks. Can be maxed out to 16gb. I hope this helps. Btw they are having problems with the power supplys on this modle. Will go out eventually. Mine is making noise right now so I'm looking to purchase a quality ps. Good luck.
