I am comparing the 2 and the Sentia is slightly ahead because of the longer battery life, the Dual Channel Ram, and the 7200 RPM HD

Not everyone has a Tax ID#. You can't just order off of small business whenever you want. You need to meet certain criteria.

Yes, you can order from the Dell small business section as often as you like if you enter in a "company name of your choice". In addition you do_not need a Tax ID# to place the order. Simply select the box that says "I DO NOT have tax exempt status. Treat order as taxable."

Of course I say that while typing this on my 12" PowerBook connected to my very own Dell server. Downstairs is a Dell 600m and in the closet awaiting an OS is a Dell Optiplex.

Seriously though you're in a win - win situation.

I am waiting for my Sentia which is in Phase 9! I just needed a little "Cool" in my computing life.

The AW guy was mistaken. The 855 chipset uses a single channel memory controller.

The Sentia, and 700M uses the same chipsets... If one was capable of "Dual Channel" then the other would be as well.

Also note that the memory bus cannot be greater than the frontside bus, hence why NO current Pentium M based machines have dual channel memory.
