Correction: The coupon will take $300 off $999, not $350.
Use the following coupon in your cart for $300 off of $999 (Exp: 06/12): CJ?Z2DQDSJ0L0N
The base configuration for this model is $579, you need to add at least $420 of upgrades in order to get the $300 off of $999. If you subtract the included media card reader you can add $440 of upgrades!
I’ve gone ahead and highlighted sample upgrades that will give you a computer with out-of-this world performance without any tinkering or additions required after the purchase. It will also put you just over the $999 coupon threshold. If you are comfortable with upgrading stuff like RAM yourself you should just stick with the 1GB RAM option and buy 2GB of RAM elsewhere for much cheaper.

It will save you $300 not $350.
What is a good brand/store to get RAM for the Inspiron 530 – I have heard that some dell computers are picky about which RAM it will work with.
is it worth getting vista over xp for regular use?
