Product: HP Pro 3330
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I am looking for any information on the maximum RAM I can install on this desktop. Currently I am using 16GB of RAM but all info I can find is that this Desktop can support only up to 8GB of RAM which is weird. This is the link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pro-3330-microtower-pc/5160080/model/5160082/document/c02976...

Hi:

 

All the info I can find indicates the same thing (2 x 4 GB), except one source...

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155

 

The H61 chipset only supports one double-sided DIMM Memory module (RAM module) per memory-channel and therefore is limited to 16 GB instead of the 32 GB like the others support.  On H61-based motherboards with four DIMM slots, only four single-sided DIMMs can be installed.

 

If your are running 2 x 8 GB in there with no issues, then that is great news.

 

It's not going to hurt anything, if that is what you are concerned about.

 

I have a Dell Optiplex 7020 business desktop PC, and Dell's official specs state the max memory is 16 GB and the PC is happily running 32 GB of memory.

Thank you very much for the info. Looks like I need to get a new desktop. My current desktop could not handle deleted file recovery as the RAM will always be at 99% and would freeze my PC.
