So no.

But it’s an n100, I think it’s (officially) capped out at 16 anyway. Only one slot too, single channel.

Not sure 32 would even make a difference, it’s not meant for heavy lifting.

Btw, just to give you some hope for these minipcs (the ones I have), I’ve had one running for about 4 months now as a server without a reboot. Running it for over a year now.
