A:Answer There are 2 memory slots. I bought an 8gb skew and was pleasantly surprised that it was a single 8gb dimm making future upgrades less costly. I keep mine on a home made cooling stand (an angled glass plate and oscillating fan) and have only played a few games (DS3, Fallout 4, & Subnautica), but the fan has only kicked in on DS3 w/GeForce recommended settings. It's not that loud. It also doesn't get terribly warm. I installed Ubuntu and felt like in ran a bit warmer than the windows install, even with proprietary drivers, but that's probably to be expected. It's never been uncomfortably warm for typing. I am overall quite pleased.
