| How much memory can be added?  8 GB is likely not enough these days.  My E520
| has 8 GB and I find it's getting tight when running a W10 virtual machine.  A
| few years ago, it ran fine, but both Linux and Windows have grown.  I'm
| running openSUSE Leap 15.2.

A good amount would be a second 8G stick since that would allow dual 
channel operation (I think -- do check).

I bet you could add a 16G stick, leaving you with 24G total.  I think that 
there are even 32G sticks now.

This might be explained in the PSREF entry for this model.
