apalrds adventures | Dell WYSE 5060 Thin Client MEMORY UPGRADE | Homelab Operations Center @apalrdsadventures | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
When I tore down my Dell Wyse 5060 thin clients previously, I didn't notice that it had removable memory because the SODIMM slots are under a metal RF shield that looks like part of the CPU heat sink. A viewer on the teardown video told me the memory can be upgraded, so I bought 3x8GB DDR3L sticks to upgrade these guys to 8GB each. When I tore them apart, I learned that they actually have two slots (and one of them is ungodly hard to access), so I kept the existing 4GB stick and added an 8GB stick to bring the total system memory up to 12GB each, which is plenty of space to do actual virtualization work.

I have more projects coming with the 3-node HA Proxmox cluster, so having more RAM will really help with this.
