(Dell ram prices)

[Wiseguy2001]

I'm just buying a pc for a family members business. And I'm looking at the dimension 3000 , looks good, cheap & and a free laser printer. Now I noticed the price shot up quite a bit when all i added was some ran (256 - 512), upgrade to winXp pro (the pc will handle accounts) and Norton AV.

I did'nt even look at the cost for the ram upgrade because its such a little amount. Now when I went back to it I noticed that the were charging £70 (~120 usd) for 256mb

What's more they make you use both Dimm slots so if you ever want to upgrade you have to throw the old ram away to upgrade.

Now is there any reason I should'nt go buy the ram from crucial?

I don't think so ...

If they're ripping you off, then do what you got to do ... I don't think you will face any unstability issues from crucial ram.

the reason theres only 2 dimm slots is because its a micro atx case using a micro atx board which most only have 2 slots.

Get it with the base amount, add what you want and ebay the RAM that came with it. I have a 9100 under the desk that has 2.5 gigs of ram in it - luckily 4 slots.
