There are 4 slots for the ram and you can upgrade it to a total of 32 max. my model came with 16 gbs installed that occupied 2 slots. The heating is on the right side....a total bummer so I have to use an xbox 360 wired controller, it is the biggest complaint about the device that I have. I don't know why they designed it in such a manner

Good question.I bought the same PC, just a step down though. The one that I purchased came pre-installed with 6GB of RAM. Amazon claimed 8GB was the max. I upgraded with no problem.From the experience I've had with Amazon, they're good about providing the correct information in the product description (I've only seen one instance where it wasn't). IMO you shouldn't have any trouble with upgrading.Hopefully this helps.

On the bottom edge of the monitor, between the speakers, there is a panel held in with a screw. Under this panel are two slots for Ram. You can upgrade it up to 16 GB max. It takes about 15 minutes. I bought mine here on Amazon. If you have the new version that came out in 2013 with the thinner monitor and no hard drive, then you have to take the monitor apart.

Hello, There are 2 memory slots. You can install another 4GB module in the second slot. Best regards, Amuras

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.

It has 2 ram slots. Make sure you get compatible ram though. It's not well listed.

Yes, I also add a SSD, actually, I dont think you need 16GB RAM, just my advice. :D I guess u can add two RAMs, cuz I dont remember how many slots it has(it is under the keyboard, if u need help to open keyboard, just ask me).The only one problem of dis laptop is system, but I install Windows 8. hmm...I like dis laptop. P.S. it is not too heavy.

There are four ram slots. You are able to use the existing ram on the laptop already and buy two more to make it 32gb.

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

Yes it is expandable to 8 GB in total. It comes with four GB installed when bought new and the second slot is empty which you can use to install an additional 4 GB. Make sure you use the same configuration as original which is PC 12800, 1600 Mhz DDR3 stick.

There are four slots for RAM. You can populate it with 4 8GB RAM modules for a total of 32 GB of RAM. As far as speed (MHz) supported, please refer to the Gigabyte website for the supported types of RAM by maker and speeds supported natively (1600 MHz) and overclocked. I've found that doing this bit of research on Gigabyte motherboards yields good info and a lot less frustration when installing the MB, RAM, CPU, etc. When you stray from the supported RAM you most likely will encounter problems, especially if overclocking. If you know what you're doing, it's a great motherboard. Hope this helps.

Mine has four slots. I have 12GB(2-4-2-4). Dell sells them as high as 16GB, but I sure you could go higher if needed for high end graphics.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

Mine came with 8 gigs of ram; two 4 gig sticks. There are 4 slots in this computer, two available. But...don't make the same mistake I made! This unit can handle 32 Gigs of ram, but Windows 7 home edition which is install on this computer can only handle 16 gigs of ram, so i wasted 16 gigs of memory which i installed on my computer. Windows 7 won't recognize the other 16 gigs. i need to upgrade to windows 7 professional, or windows 8

Not sure if the seller can upgrade it for you but you could upgrade it yourself. The standard 4GB occupies one memory slot. The second memory slot is open so you can easily add another 4GB module for 8GB total.
