Hey everyone.
Iv been looking at the Dell UK site, wanting to order the inspiron 9100.
On their info page for it, it says :

"Very latest graphics performance from ATI® MOBILITY RADEONTM 9800 graphics card with up to 256 MB of video memory (256-Bit)"

while on the customize page, u can only pick the radeon 9700 128mb! :S

anyone know whats up before i send away a mail ill probably never get a reply to?

thx

Ok I've just spoken to dell. As I thought i'd be a smart boy, I bought a 3.4ghz 9700 128 WUXGA with a gig of ram, dvd-rw and a 100 gb hdd all for £900 from the dell outlet! Very helpfull people and english. However the one downside is there is a 2 month wait list for the 9800 in the UK. but according to their spare's suppliers they will be avaiable (and cheaper) in the new year. So buy the machine cheap off of the outlet store with a 9700 128 (which is still a beast) and get the part from dell in the new year, saving about £500 - sorted

There are a few "outlets" here in the US... I don't know if they are overseas yet. They're basically kiosks in the middle of malls (the ones I've seen anyway) and the serve as an informational (supposed to be) booth.

im in uk and bought my laptop last week. I also wanted 9800 but website only gives u the 9700. I rang em up and asked for a 9800 , few days wait for parts but it was in production and delivered in 3 days. Also got the 9800 for £60 extra. And also timed it right with the anniversary £100 off and free delivery att £58. nice

the outlet is on the dell.co.uk site, they have new pc's and laptops added every morning, keep you're eyes open and you can get a bargin. My bro got a 3.4 1GB ram and a 9800 all for £1010, including delivery! goto www.dell.co.uk and have a look there, the link to it is on the homepage. You'll have to pay there and then i think so no finance but well worth hitting that credit card if you have to.
