Questions about this item

Does the Precision 3540 ship with the 8 GB DDR4 module installed or do I need to add it myself?

The 8 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM is already installed; the board supports up to 64 GB if you want to add more later.

Should I pick the 256 GB NVMe drive or look for a larger capacity?

The 256 GB NVMe SSD is the only capacity listed for this configuration; you can swap it for a bigger NVMe drive if you need more space.

How does the AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 with 2 GB video memory perform in actual CAD work?

The WX 2100 is a professional GPU certified for CAD and 3D applications, so it handles viewport rendering and heavy spreadsheets smoothly on the 15.6" FHD panel.
