Home office users and students seeking
The system suits everyday office applications, web browsing and media playback thanks to the quad-core CPU and 8 GB of RAM. Integrated graphics and a single 500 GB hard drive limit performance for modern gaming, video editing or heavy multitasking. Buyers who need more memory than the 16 GB maximum, discrete graphics capability or additional internal drive bays should look at a different platform.
8 GB DDR3 memory with 16 GB maximum
The motherboard uses 240-pin DDR3 DIMM slots and supports up to 16 GB total. This capacity ceiling determines whether the machine can handle your workload or if a platform with higher memory headroom is required.

Questions about this item
Will this OptiPlex 790 run alongside my older DDR3 240-pin memory modules?
The system ships with 8 GB of DDR3 240-pin RAM and supports a maximum of 16 GB, so existing DDR3 DIMMs can be added if they match the same specification.
How can I confirm the Intel HD Graphics 2000 is active after setup?
Open Device Manager in Windows 10 Pro and verify that Intel HD Graphics 2000 appears under Display adapters without any warning icons.
Does the box include the USB keyboard and mouse shown in the photos, or must I buy them separately?
A USB keyboard and USB mouse are included in the box along with the desktop, DVD-RW drive, Windows 10 Pro restore media and power cord.
