I say no but I don't know for sure but I remember I had an optiplex 750/60 (don't remember) and only acc3peted 8gb ram (4x2) but it could be different for 755

can you link me the pc? so we can see the mobo

[Lord Nicoll]

Because the memory controller for LGA 775 was on the north bridge chipset, RAM is determined by the motherboard but I m not awear of any LGA 775 boards that support 16GB, I don't think a dell would if high end consumer bought ones didn't.

No, it won't work

Can you do me a favour and open the PC and take a high resolution photo with good lighting of the motherboard's markings or find and quote the model number for the motherboard please.

That motherboard only supports up to 8Gb (4x 2Gb or 2x 4Gb) I'm afraid, you'll have to get a newer LGA 1156 at least for 16GB DDR3 support. I'd advise no older than LGA 1150 unless you can get a whole package really cheap.

That is what old PCs are best for since they still have 100% legacy support.
