Dell OptiPlex 3040 SSF Core i5 Desktop

This small-form-factor desktop ships with Windows 11 Pro already activated and runs on an Intel Core i5-6500 processor at 3.2GHz. The 16GB of DDR3 memory and a 240GB SSD provide responsive everyday performance. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles standard display output without a discrete card.

Suitable for office and home tasks

The system suits users who need a compact, ready-to-use PC for web browsing, document work and video calls using the included USB Wi-Fi adapter supporting 2.4G and 5G bands. It is not for buyers who require a dedicated graphics card for 3D rendering or gaming. It is not for users needing more than 240GB of internal solid-state storage. It is not for builds that depend on memory generations beyond DDR3.

16GB DDR3 memory capacity

The single decisive specification is the 16GB DDR3 configuration because the platform only accepts this generation and speed. If your workflow demands larger memory modules or a different DDR standard, this chassis cannot accommodate them. Confirm that your applications run within 16GB of DDR3 before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Is the 16GB DDR3 memory the only capacity available for this 3040 SSF?

This unit ships with 16GB of DDR3 installed. The specification lists that capacity only, so it is the configuration you receive.

What does the i5-6500 3.2GHz quad-core deliver for everyday office work in this SSF?

The four cores at 3.2GHz handle web browsing, document editing and multi-tab workflows smoothly within the small-form-factor chassis.

Does the integrated 10/100/1000 network port cap wired speeds at 1000 Mbps?

Yes, the onboard Ethernet is rated at 10/100/1000, so the maximum wired throughput is 1000 Mbps.
