Could you please do me a favor and download CPU-Z 1.19b

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Run the program, click on the memory tab, and tell me what you have listed under memory timings? You can also take a screenshot (alt + Print Scrn keys) and upload the image if you'd rather do that.

Thanks!

Mine shipped sometime this morning from whereever these things are assembled. I too have not recieved any shipping confirmation.


Just talked to the Dell customer service. It is being shipped airborne express and will be left at the door!

Thankfully the shipping address i gave them is a rural address. Only problem is i now have to go hang out at my parents house while they are out of town and wait for the package to show up.


According to the phone rep at Dell, i should have the computer about 7 pm or so.



Excellent!
