Dell OptiPlex 9800 SFF desktop with 24" LCD

This compact desktop pairs a Dell OptiPlex 9800 small-form-factor chassis with a 24 inch LCD. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core i5-6500 dual-core processor at 3.2GHz with 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics drives the display. A USB Wi-Fi adapter provides wireless connectivity.

Check memory slots and storage needs

The system has two memory slots and supports up to 32GB of RAM. Verify whether the 8GB currently installed occupies one or both slots before planning an upgrade. The 128GB SSD is the only internal drive included; confirm that capacity is sufficient for your operating system and applications. Ensure your workspace can accommodate the 24 inch monitor alongside the SFF tower.

Sustained load on integrated graphics

Under continuous workloads the Intel HD Graphics shares system memory and thermal headroom with the CPU. Expect throttling during extended compute or multi-monitor tasks because the small-form-factor chassis limits airflow. The 128GB SSD maintains steady throughput for OS paging but offers no secondary spindle for scratch space. Plan workloads that fit within the 8GB memory ceiling to avoid excessive paging.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what do I need to buy separately?

The system ships with the OptiPlex 9800 SFF tower, a 24" LCD monitor, a USB Wi-Fi adapter, Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. Keyboard, mouse and any additional storage or memory upgrades are not included.

Should I choose the 8 GB / 128 GB configuration or upgrade to the 32 GB maximum?

The unit has two memory slots and supports up to 32 GB total. If you run only office apps and light browsing the factory 8 GB is adequate; heavy multitasking or virtual machines will benefit from filling both slots.

What does the 3.2 GHz i5-6500 dual-core rating mean for everyday performance?

The i5-6500 runs at 3.2 GHz with two cores and integrated Intel HD Graphics. It handles web browsing, document editing and video playback smoothly, but it is not suited for modern gaming or intensive rendering workloads.
