My, what a *wonderful* suggestion.  :)

Cheapest = DRAMs.
Most Convenient = SIMMs.

Best bet is to probably purchase a kit for any memory upgrade.  But if you will
not be doing it yourself, then talk to the dealer or whoever will be doing the
upgrade work for you as that will determine your out-of-pocket cost.
