Dell OptiPlex 990 SFF Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 990 Small Form Factor desktop comes new with an Intel Core i7-2600 quad-core processor at 3.40 GHz, 8 GB of DDR3 memory and a 128 GB 2.5-inch SSD. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed alongside a DVD±RW drive and a USB WiFi adapter. A keyboard and mouse are included for immediate use.

Upgrading from older dual-core systems

The jump from a dual-core machine to this 2nd Gen Intel quad-core with 3.80 GHz Turbo Boost is worth it when daily multitasking feels sluggish or when 64-bit applications require more threads. The SSD replaces a mechanical hard drive for faster boot and application loading. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of storage or a dedicated graphics card should look elsewhere.

Build integration for SFF spaces

The small form factor case fits tight desk areas and uses standard 240-pin DDR3 slots supporting up to 16 GB total memory. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 drives display outputs without a separate card, freeing the low-profile expansion slot for other add-in boards. Gigabit Ethernet provides wired connectivity alongside the USB wireless adapter. Power supply capacity is determined by the original chassis design.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the SFF chassis leave for a low-profile graphics card?

The OptiPlex 990 Small Form Factor case accepts only low-profile expansion cards; full-height cards will not fit the bracket or the internal space.

How is the supplied WiFi USB adapter connected, and which step is often skipped?

Insert the USB adapter into any free USB port, then install its driver before expecting a wireless connection; skipping the driver install leaves the device unrecognised.

What is the maximum DDR3 memory the board supports for a future upgrade?

The system board supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 RAM across its DIMM slots, so the current 8 GB can be doubled if required.
