I've got a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop w/2GB ram and I want go to at least 4.
So I look up on the Dell site what their price is and also will now gives me specs on it so I can price the same somewhere else.

Dell wants $49 per GB but I can get 1GB elsewhere for $12-15.
Heres the Dell page:

And pcmemorystore:
http://www.pcmemorystore.com/Dell-Inspiron-530-ram.htm

Is it worth paying the extra from Dell?
Is it a bad idea to mix Dell and something else?
