What kind of Motherboard do you have? Find out what its suggested
RAM speed/vendor(s) are ... Also, if "Dell Says" you're limited to 8GB,
then they might have a BIOS block on it ... which can probably be reset
to default, allowing the full 32GB, if you wish.
The way to find these things out without having to power the machine off and peer into the innards is to run "dmidecode > boardinfo.txt" as root. grep the resulting text file for "Memory" and you'll find the number of RAM slots and the maximum capacity of the board. dmidecode should be available for every distro.
