Questions about this item

How much heat does the Core i7-870 produce when the system runs all day?

The Intel Core i7-870 quad-core processor runs at 2.93 GHz with a 3.6 GHz Turbo Boost speed, so sustained loads will raise chassis temperature and fan speed accordingly.

What must I already own to use the included Windows 7 Professional 64-bit licence?

The licence is tied to this OptiPlex 980 and its Certificate of Authenticity; you only need a monitor, keyboard and mouse to complete the setup.

Can I keep my DDR3 memory modules when upgrading from an older desktop?

This unit uses 16 GB of DDR3 in 240-pin DIMM slots, so any compatible DDR3 sticks you already have can be installed alongside the existing memory.
