Hi,What you need to know is whether the RAM you have, is ECC (Error Correcting Code) or not, since mixing the ECC and non-ECC together is a no-go. Otherwise, the ones you describe are just fine, and (if you have non-ECC RAM already installed on your computer) will work fine on your Optiplex.Regards,TK
