OptiPlex 960 DDR2 kit

This 4 GB kit contains two 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz modules built for Dell OptiPlex 960 desktops. Each stick is a 240-pin unbuffered non-ECC DIMM rated at CL6 6-6-6 timing. The pair installs directly into the system's four DIMM sockets and is validated for that platform. Buyers needing ECC or registered memory cannot use this kit.

Standard voltage low profile

The modules operate at the standard DDR2 voltage of 1.8 V and have no heat spreader, keeping the profile low for the OptiPlex 960 chassis. Power draw follows the normal DDR2 800 specification without extra cooling requirements. Acoustic impact is negligible because the memory is passive. Systems limited to slower DDR2 speeds will downclock the kit automatically.

Two sticks ready to install

The package includes only the two memory sticks; no software, drivers or additional accessories are supplied. Compatibility is guaranteed for the OptiPlex 960, and the lifetime warranty from the brand applies when purchased directly. The board supports up to 16 GB total across four sockets, so this kit leaves two slots free for future expansion.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs in the OptiPlex 960, and what step do people often miss?

Power off and unplug the desktop, open the case, align each 240-pin module with the slot notch, press firmly until both retention clips click shut, then verify the BIOS recognises the full 4 GB — skipping the clip check is the common error.

What maintenance or replacement will this 2 x 2 GB kit need later?

No routine maintenance is required; keep interior dust-free for airflow. If a module fails, the manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty when purchased directly from Computer Memory Solutions.

What limit appears first under sustained load with these CL6 1.8 V modules?

The DDR2 800 MHz bandwidth ceiling and CL6 latency are the primary constraints during prolonged heavy workloads.
