All of the upgrades at Dell are more expensive than a DIY job from Newegg.com or a similar shop. The RAM upgrade is probably double what you'd pay doing it yourself. I would definitely go for the DVI monitor if the graphic card in the system has a DVI output. There is a difference between the digital and analog inputs.

NOTE AND BEWEARE, however, that with these nice, new, big LCD displays, the native resolution is very high, which results in very small items on the display. You should look into this to be sure you are ok with this, because you really can't change the native resolution of the monitor like you can do with a big CRT screen. You can always use the software configs to give yourself some 'big' fonts, but imho that solution is not optimal.
