Form factor and core specification

This Dell OptiPlex 990 is a small form factor desktop designed for home office and student use. It ships new with an Intel quad-core i5 processor running between 2.9 GHz and 3.30 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 3.5-inch 1000 GB hard drive. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed alongside a USB keyboard and mouse.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 handles everyday productivity, web browsing and video playback but cannot drive modern games or GPU-accelerated workloads. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance, additional internal drive bays or a full-size tower chassis should consider a different platform.

Deciding specification

The system provides 16 GB of DDR3 RAM in a 240-pin DIMM configuration, which is the maximum memory this platform supports. If your workflow demands more than 16 GB of memory you will need a newer architecture.
