Inspiron 3647, ram upgrade

I have a Inspiron 3647 with the following configuration:

System Model: Inspiron 3647 BIOS:

A08 (type: UEFI)

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460S CPU @ 2.90GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Memory: 8192MB RAM (2x4gb)

Would it be possible to upgrade my RAM memory? If so, which kind of RAM memory should I buy?

Thanks,

Fernando

    The max amount of memory the system supports is 8gigs. It looks like your computer has the max installed.

    Memory module connectors Two internally-accessible DDR3 DIMM sockets Memory module capacities 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB Minimum memory 2 GB Maximum memory 8 GB Configurations supported 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB


    That's wrong.  Max Dimm size is 8.  There are 2 slots and therefore 16 gigs is max.

    • Maximum Memory:16GB
    • Standard Memory:4GB removable
    • Slots:2 (2 banks of 1)

    @Jesse L (retired)​ no, sorry you are incorrect. It takes a max of 16 Gb (2x 8Gb DIMM DDR3-1333/1600 RAM). I understand Dell have standards, but after vigorous testing it works fine. Dell need to up their game.

    Speedstep already stated it takes 16GB max back in 2018.
