Those are only the RAM configs that Dell validated for this model. Doesn't mean 4x 8GB won't work, but Dell isn't responsible if it doesn't. Probably will work... YRMV!
Hello, I recently purchased a G5 5000 and it came with 16GB via a 2 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel config. I'm interested in upgrading to 32GB by adding another 2 x 8 GB, but this doesn't seem to be supported, according to the manual. Is this correct? I'm a little confused as the motherboard only lists using all 4 slots at higher memory configs (64GB and up). Here's what the manual has for options: ● 8 GB, 2 x 4 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel● 8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM● 16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel● 16 GB, 1 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM● 32 GB, 1 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM● 32 GB, 2 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel● 64 GB, 2 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel● 64 GB, 4 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel● 128 GB, 4 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,dual-channel Thanks!
