Memory can be upgraded easily, and you need not buy from Dell - just make
sure you get good quality, exact-spec RAM.

It's no problem to upgrade a Dell with third-party components. I put
Kingston RAM in my Dell desktop, and a Plextor DVD burner. As Edward says,
just be sure to get the right RAM modules when upgrading memory.

It's their computer, so they or you are free to do whatever they/you wish.
Dell will only support the original configuration and changes previously
approved by Dell.
