Gene,

But do the memory prices make sense?
128MB N/C (Base memory)
256MB add $480
384MB add $1420
512MB add $1820

It might. Remember that there are only two slots, so:

128M = 1 128M RIMM
256M = 1 256M RIMM
384M = 1 256M RIMM + 1 128M RIMM
512M = 2 256M RIMMS

Now suppose the "retail" price Dell is charging for a 128M RIMM is $940-ish and a 256M RIMM is $1420-ish. Then the RIMM prices for the configurations above would be:

128M = 1 x $940             = $940  (base)
256M = 1 x $1420            = $1420 ($480 incremental)
384M = 1 x $940 + 1 x $1420 = $2360 ($1420 incremental)
512M = 2 x $1420            = $2840 ($1900 incremental)

The incremental costs above match pretty closely the Dell incremental charges.
