Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Desktop

This small-form-factor desktop computer runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 240 GB SSD. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives displays without a separate card.

DDR4 Memory and SFF Constraints

The board supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, so the fitted 16 GB can be expanded within the four-slot limit. Small-form-factor dimensions restrict full-height expansion cards and larger power supplies, limiting GPU upgrades to low-profile models that fit the chassis and power budget.

Storage Capacity and Headroom

The 240 GB solid-state drive holds the operating system and core applications with modest space for active projects. Large media libraries or multiple virtual machines will exceed the available capacity, requiring external drives or a larger internal SSD for comfortable headroom.
