8GB DDR3 Kit for Dell Optiplex 980

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 modules built for the Dell Optiplex 980. The unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs run at 1.5V with 9-9-9 timing. Computer Memory Solutions guarantees compatibility with the specified system.

Check your Optiplex 980 memory configuration

The Optiplex 980 supports a maximum of 16GB across four 240-pin slots. Verify how many slots are free and whether existing modules match the 1333MHz speed. Mixing speeds will force all memory to run at the lowest common rate.

Upgrades from lower capacity or slower DDR3

Replacing 2GB or 4GB modules with this 8GB kit doubles or quadruples available memory for multitasking. The jump is worth it when the system currently runs near capacity or uses slower DDR3 grades that limit throughput.

Questions about this item

Does the kit include both 4 GB modules or must they be purchased separately?

The kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz modules, giving 8 GB total with nothing extra to buy.

Should I choose the 1333 MHz CL9 version or a faster one for the Optiplex 980?

The Optiplex 980 officially supports DDR3 1333 MHz, so this CL9 kit matches the platform specification.

Will the system run at the full 1333 MHz once both sticks are installed?

Yes, the Optiplex 980 memory controller operates at 1333 MHz with unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs, so the kit runs at its rated speed.
