Hi,<br>
<br>
I bought a Dell Inspiron 3847 last year (i5-4460/8gb ram/1tb hd).<br>
<br>
I want to add more RAM, however Dell says I am limited to 8Gb. The cpu will do 32Gb. Would like 16Gb. Any work around?<br>
<br>
My desktop is using 4.1 GB (so reports free) with just the browser,shell, skype and Linux Mint KDE.<br>
<br>
I opened one server on VirtualBox and now free says 4.6Gb used. (Cent 6) That server is allotted 2Gb The VirtualBox server is idle if that makes a difference. I might want to have 3 different VirtualBox servers running at any given time.<br>
<br>
Started another VirtualBox server (allotted 2Gb of RAM) (Ubuntu 14.04). RAM used is now 5.2Gb. Server is idle.<br>
<br>
Started a 3rd VirtualBox server (allotted 2Gb of RAM) (Cent 7). RAM used is now 5.6Gb. Server is idle.<br>
<br>
I seem to have enough RAM for this, however if I open a spreadsheet, add more tabs to my browser, or actually do something with the VB servers I could run dangerously low or out.<br>
<br>
Any insight as to how Dell limits RAM and how I might bypass that limitation?<br>
<br>
Than you so much for your insight.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
