Inquiry about storage format support
Hello, I’m considering a memory upgrade for my dad’s Dell XPS 8930 system. He has the Dell website listing for a DDR4 upgrade with four UDIMM slots. The specs mention support for 8GB, 16GB, 24GB, 32GB, and 64GB modules, with speeds up to 2666MHz for the i5/i7/i7K processors. He currently has an I7-8700 and one slot with 8GB RAM, but I couldn’t find details about that configuration. My question is whether going above 2666MHz would be a good idea for him. Based on what I found, it seems reasonable to stick with the supported speeds. The link you shared looks useful for purchasing compatible RAM. It’s not about cost but about compatibility and performance. Let me know if you need more help!
For office work or similar, eight gigs should cover it unless you're handling paperwork and need more. A 2666 gig count would be sufficient for office purposes.
Typically, offices handle many open documents. He also plays a few strategy games such as Civ 5 and Civ 6. I transferred my old 1070ti from my system after upgrading mine.
The link you shared would suit his system well. Appreciate the confirmation.
I noticed those listings on Newegg. They list a price difference of 20$ for shipping on the higher-end models and 8$ for the lower ones. That’s a $12 difference overall.
Choose the smoother option—they’re both Hynix, so it’s simple yet includes a heat spreader and has a better appearance.
