OptiPlex 3040 SFF desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 Small Form Factor desktop ships with an Intel Core i5-6500 running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo, 4 GB of DDR3 1600 memory, and a 250 GB 7.2 K RPM SATA hard drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and the 180 W power supply supports the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530.

Business users needing dual-display support

Two digital outputs — HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 — drive two independent monitors, while eight USB ports (four 3.0 and four 2.0) handle peripherals. The half-height PCIe x16 and x1 slots allow a low-profile add-in card, but the compact chassis and 180 W supply rule out full-height or high-power expansion.

DDR3 memory ceiling at 16 GB

Two DIMM slots accept DDR3 1600 modules up to a total of 16 GB, so the installed 4 GB can be quadrupled. No other memory type fits the board, and the 250 GB mechanical drive is the only factory storage device.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 4 GB DDR3 version or plan to upgrade to the 16 GB maximum?

The system ships with 4 GB DDR3 1600 and has two DIMM slots supporting up to 16 GB total, so you can add matching modules later if workloads demand more memory.

What does the 3.2 GHz base and 3.6 GHz boost mean for everyday tasks?

The Core i5-6500 runs at 3.2 GHz normally and can reach 3.6 GHz on short bursts, giving responsive performance for office applications, web browsing and light multitasking.

Which display outputs are available and what resolutions do they support?

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 provides one HDMI 1.4 and one DisplayPort 1.2, driving two active displays simultaneously.
