[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1450653, member: 45350"] Easiest way to do a clean install is to add a new HD, format it with Disk Utilities and then install the OS. And, yes, you can upgrade straight to Lion. I am assuming from Louishen's comment that Apple would be providing either a download link or a USB drive with the Lion DMG on it. Installing RAM is easy. If you don't feel comfortable doing it and can't find a friend to help then hauling it in s an option.
