That looks like a better analysis. If you want to be sure to get the right parts... check gigabuys.com. They have Crucial Technology 66Mhz NP 3.3v 32MB SODIMMs for $42 and 64MB for $77. They don't explicitly state Inspiron 3500 upgrade however it's listed under "Dell system upgrades" so it looks like a safe bet. As far as intentional rip-off.. have you checked competitor pricing for factory installed memory upgrades? For the Gateway solo 2500: 32MB $0 64MB $100 96MB $200 128MB $300 Sound familiar? Don't assume Dell is gouging where competitors aren't. There is a cost associated with installation, testing, burn-in and warranty (the more memory and modules, failure rates increase). MEATHEAD
