Think out of the box a little. The OS image appears to be downloadable by anybody. Buy any configuration of that model you like and don't tell Dell that you only got it with 2G of RAM when you apply for the developer program. Then max it out to 16Gig (or whatever) via NewEgg. Or don't bother with the program at all, if all you want is a (semi) supported OS image.
