Dell Optiplex 745 Desktop version 8GB of Ram upgrade!!!

[Jaime_18]

Hello i need help with this question of mine!

I've been looking through forums to get the answer to my question but, none of them made any sense to me.

I have this Dell Optiplex 745 Desktop version, the one before the minitower and i've been trying to find the right ram for the system. I know that it takes ddr2 but, whenever I go to amazon and search for a set of 8GB ram modules. There will always be reviews saying that if you put all ram sticks in(like if its 4x2GB sticks), your pc won't boot up or something.

I need a very simple clear answer.

This machine was intended to work with 4 x 1GB at 800MHz or 4 x 2GB at 667MHz as per Dell Manual.

So your chances of 8GB is better with the slower speed 667MHz. In my opinion, 4 x 2GB 800MHz will also work.

Oh nevermind.

Does it make a difference, I have a desktop version but, the one you put out is the minitower version?

Does not matter. Mini Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor all support same memory specification
