Another thing to check out is if your computer can handle the amount of ram you intend to put in. If it's really that old it may only be able to use 1 gig, and the rest is just going to sit there taking up space. For example the desktop I'm on can't take a 1 gig stick, only 512, and there are only 2 slots, so I've got what I've got and any extra ram won't do me any good.
Other than that, plugging ram in is about the easiest internal upgrade there is. If you order a dell they consider it a user upgrade (meaning you do it yourself) and you're still covered under warranty & all that, so it shouldn't worry you, just don't force anything that doesn't want to go.
