I spoke with a manager today. We ordered the correct part, and it's a valid order as far as dell is concerned.
The issue right now, which seems to be backed up by all the XPS orders that got delayed late this week, is Dell has run out or cards.
I hope to hear back Monday or Tuesdat from this manager with a more accurate assesment of when my particular order will ship, and if they do a first ordered first served basis filling of the orders, mine should be first filled here unless i missed someone else getting this part # ordered before I found a rep who found it

I'm betting the Sept1 timeframe for Dell to receive new cards is likely accurate, so the week after is when I am anticipating some of us getting it. I'll let you know when i hear more
