Got my card (found it on the door steps

). Anyway, now the screwdrivers that I had were much bigger than the requirements. But there was just no way I was going to waste some more time trying to get one that'll fit.

So, in the process, what I discovered is that don't listen to what Dell says, you just need a sharp knife and you can install the card.

For all of you who got the mr9800, was your card's status stay as "In-Production" (With no checks below it) than suddenly became "Shipped"?

Coz mine is staying as "In-Production" (no kitting, build...) since the day i ordered it, it looks like it is gonna get delayed or something...

namit · 12-12-2004, 12:34 AM

Yeah, that's how it happened for me. In fact, the shipment happened two days before the status got changed.

I see....than I hope I will get the email from Dell sooner...I can't wait for this baby anymore.....

In fact, I also called Dell many times to check the status....it keeps telling me that the card is in the "build" stage....I think I haven't ever wait that long in my life before.

GOSH I HAVE WAITED MORE THAN A MONTH NOW AND I CAN'T EVEN GET THE CARD UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Who knows if the card is gonna get delayed again....

Diesel · 12-13-2004, 10:24 AM

well let's just hope that when the new ixps2 with the mobile x800 comes out, that they don't stop making the mr9800

but that is a possibility...

Congratulations!! Actually, besides the delay notice, I called Dell today and the guy told me that my package is ready to be shipped tomorrow...he even gave me the tracking number, let's hope that is ture......

I have waited for 33 days...pretty bad compare with others that can get it within 1-2 weeks...

ehsieh · 12-16-2004, 09:07 AM

Dell promised to send it by 'Next Business day Delivery'. But I check the tracking # and DHL said Dell choosed 'GROUND service'. Contacted Dell and got a $35 coupon for my un fortunate.

BBerman · 12-16-2004, 09:53 AM

They must have sent mine next business day, since mine will be here today, and it shipped 2 days ago (ordered only 2 weeks ago). Looking forward to trying out some new games today. X-mas is early for me!

Why?

phxlibra · 12-16-2004, 11:45 AM

I am not that much into gaming and happy with the 128 card and maybe I might sell the XPS for a 17" laptop.
