I've Dell optiplex 380 machine and I've 32bit Windows 7 ultimate OS on it with DDR3 2*2GB RAM on it.

I want to upgrade my machine to use 8GB RAM with 64bit windows 7 ultimate OS and want to install DDR3 2*4GB RAM. Is this possible on this machine?

I'm little bit layman in this area but by reading the specs I have got an impression that max Ram I can use on this machine is 4GB with DDR3 and 8GB with DDR2. Can anybody give me clear idea on this?

  • this should've been on superuser really, I imagine that's the downvotes, but it was easy to answer so I don't really mind myself. – Chopper3 Aug 09 '12 at 13:22

It depends on exactly which model of the 380 you have, you didn't include that information.

The small form-fcator version only supports 4GB while the larger models support 8GB.

Have a look HERE. Oh and this question was really more appropriate for superuser.com but it was very easy to get this answer so that's fine.
