Oh, and about the ram it said "256GB DDR SDRAM, 333MHz (2 DIMM)," I guess it's MB, not GB lol... By the way, do 256MB comes in 2 DIMMS (128x2) in 9100? I thought 256 is the minimum per DIMM for this system?

upgrade the ram before it's even shipped, you'll be starving with 256.

well the thing is... Dell Outlet wouldn't let me upgrade anything but the warranty plan since the machine comes in prebuilt... I guess I'll just upgrade my own... What site has the best deal for RAM upgrading? crucial.com ?

Check pricewatch.com, search for "256mb pc3200 200pin" (or 512mb) under notebook memory. I'll be selling my 2 DIMMS of 256mb pc3200 400mhz, 512mb total. My laptop is arriving today with 2 sticks of 512mb RAM soon to follow!

You got a good deal....enjoy!
