This is funny cause I just recently bought a monster Dell as well and your specs look a little light mate, 3 gs yeah.  Wow you don't get much for your money with them do ya.

Are you accounting for the exchange rate? That 3K is in USD, so it's the equivalent of only around 1.5K GBP.

Yeah I took that into account being that I'm an American living in the UK, but thanks for thinking I'm dumb and I did a lot of haggling with Dell (in India), over the price of mine, which I got down to £1700, with an extra 15" monitor and extra wireless keyboard and mouse for my pops. 

So all in all I got a great deal, but Dell is kinda funny.  Like the other day I bought a new LCD TV and wanted to hook it up to my PC, but dvi-hdmi was too expensive, and I looked at my nvidia Dell video card and saw a small round socket, thinking it was s-video, so I got an s-video cable and low and behold it wasn't s-video.  So I tried to find out what it was, but I couldn't.  So I phoned Dell, and funnily enough they didn't know either.  The guy said I'll get back to you.  Two days later he emails me to tell me it was a speaker out.  My response was "a speaker out on an nVidia graphics card, that's weird."  He agreed and we had a laugh about it, well I was pissed cause I forked out doe for a cable I can't return, only to find out it's as good RGB.

The moral of the story is that you can get a good PC at a good price but you have to go through every single part to make sure they give you the right one.

Either way sorry off topic again, go for the Gig ram cards you'll be happy you did, and it's what I've got 2x1gb, and it's fast as hell.

or replace the stuff you have to make 2 one gb chips.

Why replace with 2 1g chips when I could just add the 2 chips and get 3g total.  I have 4 slots.

Or I could go all out, Hit the lottery and upgrade the mem to the max my sys can handle.  Which is 8g!

If it requires the same RAM (size wise) then you option one is redundent, 3GB wouldnt be open to you, if you really need it to be identical sizes, which you claim is what it does need to be, then the option of 512+512+1024+1024 for 3GB is not going to work.....  Or have I read what you said wrong?  I dont think you need the exact size though to be honest, throw in another gig and be done with it.
