Dell Optiplex 980 memory upgrade

This 2GB DDR3 module is built specifically for the Dell Optiplex 980 desktop. It uses a 240-pin DIMM form factor and runs at 1333MHz with CL9 timings. The unbuffered, non-ECC design suits standard office and home systems that need a straightforward capacity increase.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify the system is a Dell Optiplex 980 with available 240-pin DDR3 slots. The motherboard supports a maximum of 16GB across four sockets, so confirm the current population leaves room for this stick. Ensure the platform requires 1.5V unbuffered non-ECC memory, as registered or ECC modules will not work.

What the single-module kit changes

The package contains one 2GB stick, allowing a targeted upgrade without buying a matched pair. Installation adds capacity to an empty slot or replaces a smaller module directly. The major-brand chipset and lifetime warranty from the manufacturer provide assurance of reliability for the supported system.

Questions about this item

Does the box contain only the 2GB DDR3 1333 module or are extra cables or brackets included?

The package includes one 240‑pin DDR3 1333 CL9 1.5V unbuffered non‑ECC DIMM rated PC3‑10600; no cables, brackets or additional parts are supplied.

My OptiPlex 980 has four slots and supports 16GB total — should I buy one 2GB stick or several to reach the limit?

Each stick is 2GB, so you would need eight modules to reach 16GB, but the board only has four slots; populate all four slots with 2GB sticks for 8GB or choose higher‑capacity modules to hit the 16GB ceiling.

The spec lists PC3‑10600 1333MHz CL9 — will that speed actually run at 1333MHz once installed in the OptiPlex 980?

Yes, the module is rated DDR3‑1333 PC3‑10600 CL9 at 1.5V and the OptiPlex 980 memory controller supports that speed natively, so it will operate at the full 1333MHz.
