Compact SFF desktop for office and study

The Dell OptiPlex 990 SFF is a small-form-factor desktop built around an Intel quad-core i5 processor running at 2.9 to 3.30 GHz with a 3.40 GHz turbo boost. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 128 GB 2.5-inch SSD, plus Windows 10 Pro 64-bit pre-installed. This configuration suits students, home-office users and general productivity tasks.

Build quality and daily connectivity

The black-and-silver chassis uses the small form factor layout, fitting tight desk spaces while retaining a DVD±RW drive for legacy media. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 drives display outputs, while Gigabit Ethernet and a bundled WiFi USB adapter handle wired and wireless networking. A USB keyboard and mouse are included, so the system is ready to operate immediately.

Included accessories and software impact

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit provides domain join, BitLocker and remote desktop features useful in managed environments. The DVD±RW drive allows software installation from optical discs without external hardware. The supplied USB keyboard and mouse remove the need for separate peripheral purchases during initial setup.

Questions about this item

What DDR3 speed does the 240-pin memory run at?

The system ships with 16 GB of DDR3 desktop RAM installed in 240-pin DIMM slots, providing 64-bit quad-core support for multitasking workloads.

Will the Small Form Factor case accept a full-height graphics card?

The SFF chassis only fits low-profile expansion cards; a full-height GPU will not mount without a different case.

Does the Intel HD Graphics 2000 driver install automatically with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit?

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit includes the Intel HD Graphics 2000 driver, so video works on first boot without extra downloads.
