Personally, I'd be careful fitting anything to a pc you're gettting off Dell. If anything goes wrong, they'll blame the fact that you've fitted something yourself and it will void the warranty.

It happened to me, so be careful

I see it has two 512 DDR2 ram strips, therefore it can only have 2 slots, so I assume they are gonna fit 2x1 gig strips.
Don't think you're gonna save much if you upgrade yourself.

looks like it would only be about £50 , may as well get them to fit it so any warranty isnt excluded...

Thanks for all your help hun!

As soon as you change anything, you'll void the warranty. Pay the extra for the memory now, it'll be worth it in the long run

It all depends on what you want the laptop to do. I have a 1 gig memory and it copes with everything I throw at it. The only time it's a little slow is if I'm downloading something as well as doing other things, but it isn't that noticable.

For what your going to pay upgrading I'd go for the 1 gig for the time being. You can always upgrade once to warranty is up if you think it's necessary
