Wow, hopefully it will be here next week, I got next day shipping, maybe even saturday!

Although damned the lazy people who ever say in the USPS Mail:
As decended from Heaven, the Postmaster with a eagle apon his shoulders deemed out for all to hear, "This is Sunday my great gentlemen today shall be the only day our true and honest mailboxes shall stay empty. Tire ye weary bones, as today another day shall come."

Wow! That was a good one just making it up!

The RAM that comes with your system is actually pc3200, even though the fsb is 533mhz. At least it was last week when I asked.

Hi abf, do you think by formatting the HD and reinstall windows will increase the performance of the laptop? My company just gave me a Dell 510m ( ) and it's fully loaded with crappy software, but at the moment I just leave it as it is, although I'm tempted to re-do the O/S.

it will absolutely speed you right up, it will reduce the clutter on the partition and remove extra "background software" for AOL 1.0 to 9.0 all at the same time because dell loves AOL, and it will just be easier on the hdd, the ram and the cpu because there is less crap to think about.

I may consider doing the same thing, although would anyone mind giving me a link to where I can buy Dell 9300 Ram? A gig perferably, it does have two slots right?

Out of curiousity, any particular reason why you opted for a Dell Outlet purchase over one of the $750 off $1,XXX coupons at Dell Home?
