Dell OptiPlex 960 SFF Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 960 SFF is a small form factor business desktop driven by an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor at 3.0 GHz with 4 GB of DDR2 memory. It includes a 250 GB hard drive, a DVD optical drive and integrated Intel GMA 4500 graphics. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed and the chassis contains a 255 W power supply.

Suited to legacy software maintenance.

This system suits IT departments running validated Windows 7 applications that require original Core 2 Duo hardware and DDR2 memory. It is not for users who need current operating system support, modern browser performance, multi-threaded throughput or discrete graphics capability.

Key specification: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 GHz

The E8400 dual-core CPU with 6 MB L2 cache defines the performance ceiling for every task on this platform. Buyers must confirm that their target software is certified for this specific processor and the accompanying Intel Q45 Express chipset before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel GMA 4500 graphics work with a legacy VGA monitor?

The system includes a VGA output driven by the Intel GMA 4500; connect the monitor cable to the blue port on the rear panel and the display will be detected automatically.

Can I keep my existing DDR2 memory modules when upgrading this OptiPlex 960?

The motherboard uses 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slots; any compatible DDR2 modules you already own can be installed alongside the 4 GB supplied.

How do I confirm the Gigabit Ethernet is running at full speed after setup?

Open Network Connections, check the adapter status and verify the reported link speed shows 1 Gbps when a live cable is plugged in.
