Dell OptiPlex 980 Desktop PC i7-870

Suits office, study or light home use

Buyers who need more storage or memory capacity should look elsewhere. The system uses DDR3 technology and legacy expansion slots, so it cannot accept newer memory generations or modern high-speed internal storage devices. Graphics are handled by an ATI Radeon HD 4550 card, which is not intended for current gaming or intensive 3D workloads.

128 GB SSD boot drive

The 128 GB solid-state drive provides the primary storage for the operating system and applications. No additional drives are included, so total capacity is fixed at this figure unless the buyer adds external storage. The SSD’s speed benefits boot times and application launches within the limits of the platform’s older interface.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 GB DDR3 version or look for a larger memory option?

The system ships with 8 GB of DDR3 installed; the motherboard uses the Intel Q57 Express chipset which supports up to 16 GB, so you can add more modules later if needed.

What does the 2.93 GHz quad-core i7-870 actually deliver in everyday use?

The processor runs at 2.93 GHz base clock and can reach 3.6 GHz with Turbo Boost, giving strong single-thread speed for office apps and light multitasking on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

Which USB standard do the ports use and what speed does that limit me to?

The desktop provides multiple USB 2.0 ports, so external drives and peripherals are capped at the 2.0 transfer rate rather than newer 3.x speeds.
