The story's not over yet, but there has been progress. I'll be sure to update once everything has finished. I called back to speak to another customer service rep, and the call went much better this time. I told her what had happened...

Executive summary: I connected to a so-called "customer service" rep to get the address changed on my new XPS 1530 order. While about to sign off, I asked about the inclusion of Win installation disks to find the rep helpless,...

I've been wondering exactly the same thing; however, being that occasionally I'll do some Flash actionscripting on my notebook, I covet all the screen real estate I can get. Even if the interface were to scale, I still want to know the...

Bless me, Steve, for I have sinned and blasphemed OS X in my ignorance. I humbly offer myself and my formerly pig-headed attitude toward all things Apple for your iArmy of zombie fanboys. So what has made me a candidate for service as...

I did the exact same thing... ordered my i6kd it with 512mb on one stick... did the newegg thing 6mos later, and I love it. There won't be any performance hit. In fact, the new ram you purchased may be faster/better stuff; however, both...

Just a heads-up: the 6000 (I or D) does not have a DVI-out plug. The 6000's own internal screen is friggin gorgeous, but the only external ports are VGA or S-video. I got my 6000D (yes, 128MB) a couple of weeks ago, and was a little...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. So is it better to have 768MB of DDR2, clocked at 400Mhz, or only 512MB, clocked at 533? In other words, should I yank the old 256MB stick when I put in the new 512MB/533Mhz stick because it's...

Well, sorry. I blabbed before doing my homework, and now I've figgured it out. It looks like Dell IS shipping the 400mhz RAM on the 533mhz bus systems. Way to save a buck... Code: \t221-8510\tI6000,MDRT,PM,740(1.73...
