You might want to look into doing it yourself. PCI cards and RAM changes are pretty easy to do - And ridiculously expensive to have done.

Seriously, changing a RAM chip is a five minute job. Just remember to ground yourself.

You can't go wrong with 2 gigs! When I upgraded from 512 to 1 gig, it was like I bought a new computer.
