Upgrading memory on my Dell device
Upgrading memory on my Dell device
Good afternoon everyone! I’m planning to upgrade the memory on my prebuilt Dell machine. The current setup is MOD,DIMM,16GB,2X8,3200,16,U,NE. I want to increase it to 32GB. The processor is an i7-11700 @ 2.5GHz and a 1660 GPU. It was installed in a compact tower configuration, so space is important. I mainly use low settings for games like Nightrein and don’t need a more powerful system right now. Thanks ahead!
I have a prebuilt Dell computer
Can you please pass on the model and SKU to your Dell prebuilt?
It came in one of the mini tower setups so clearance is definitely a must.
You could also take pictures of the innards and the sticks of ram for us to understand how much clearance you have at your disposal. Host your images on a site akin to Imgur and then pass on a link here.
Where are you located? What is your budget for your ram purchase? Preferred site for purchase?
XPS 8940 is a US model without a budget; it doesn’t require any flashy features and has no specific purchase preference.

Your ready-made unit supports up to 192GB, which equals 32GB in each of the four slots. The highest speed it can handle is DDR4-2933MHz. You might consider these options:
