I have a System76 Pangolin Performance (panp9) that’s about 12 years old. It’s still doing pretty well, too! That said, more RAM and an SSD could help it run a bit faster and they seem to be pretty cheap.

I searched online for details about upgrading but didn’t find much, so I submitted a ticket to System76. (After all, they offer lifetime support!)

I thought I’d share what I heard back in case it can help someone else.

Hello,

The panp9 can support up to 16gb (2x 8gb sticks) of DDR3 SO-DIMM memory running at 1600 MHz. It uses a SATA SSD slot so there really isn’t a hard limit as to how big of an SSD you can install; you should be able to grab whichever SATA drive you want and use it. Other than that there aren’t really any other impactful upgrades that can be done.

Feel free to reach out if you need anything else.

Thank you,

System76
