Question What Ram do I need to get for an optiplex 990

[Kproctor]

So, i'm trying to maximize the ram on my old optiplex 990 system, and the maximum ram allowed is 32 gb. How much can each slot handle and what type do I need? I have 2 sticks of these right now https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PC3-...+1333mhz+non-ecc+unbuffered+cl9,aps,73&sr=8-4

Can you run CPU-Z app on your computer to see what motherboard and chipset you have?

So your motherboard has the Intel H67 chipset.

You can use up to 16GB DDR3 RAM with max speed of 1333Mhz.

There is a typo, the chipset is Q67, same as H67 but with a free PCI slot and aimed at corporate usage.

There seems to be some differences of opinion about max ram.

Your call.
