Opps, just in case I got my math wrong

Dell wants $200 for 1x64mb with 1x32mb(96mb total)
Street costs $70 for 1x64mb with the 1x32 Dell gives (96mb total)
for a savings of $130 if you want (96mb total)

you get similar saving if you want (128mb total)
Dell adds $300 for 2x64mb chips for (128mb total)
Street costs $140 for 2x64mb chips, plus you get
to hang on to the 32mb Dell chip you get free,
and you still save $160 doing it yourself!

Obviously the savings on 96mb is more worth the
trouble. If I wanted 128mb I'd probably bite the
bullet and just buy DELL, but since most consumers
need 64-96mb for Windows'98/2000 this sweet spot
is where DELL intentionally ripps you off.
