Is the Precision 3640 good for gaming?

Only for light or older titles. It has no discrete graphics card, so it relies on Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics, which struggle with modern games at high settings.

Can I add a graphics card later?

Yes. The tower has PCIe slots and interior room for a discrete GPU, though you should check the power supply wattage and connector type before choosing a card.

How does it compare with the Precision 3650?

The 3650 moves to an 11th-gen Intel platform with newer memory and PCIe support. The 3640's i7-10700K is still capable, but the 3650 is the more current choice.

Is 16 GB of memory enough?

For office work, browsing and moderate CAD it is fine. Large 3D assemblies, virtual machines and 4K video editing benefit from 32 GB or more, and the memory is user-upgradable.

What is included in the box?

The workstation itself with its power cable. A keyboard and mouse are not guaranteed in every configuration, so check the listing before ordering.

Does it support multiple monitors?

Yes, the integrated graphics can drive multiple displays through the available video outputs, though the exact ports depend on the configuration.

Our take on the Precision 3640

The Dell Precision 3640 is a compact tower workstation built around Intel's 10th-generation Core i7-10700K, an 8-core desktop CPU with a 5.1 GHz boost clock. This configuration pairs it with 16 GB of memory and a 512 GB NVMe SSD, aimed at CAD, 3D modeling, video editing and data work rather than gaming. It is a fixed-spec build with no discrete graphics card listed, so it leans on Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics. Against newer workstations it is a generation behind on CPU and memory speed, but the i7-10700K still holds its own in multi-threaded work, and the tower chassis leaves room for a GPU and extra drives later.
