    Senseless.
    I had the same thing happen to me with the 1520's. I talk to the rep and he couldn't tell me why

    Dell is really getting on my nerves, thats really strange considering you can still get the 8600 GT with the 1500.

    speaking of new egg, their 2 gig sticks just came back in stock. I just picked mine up, total rang to $100 but you get $40 back, so 2 gigs for 60 bucks.

    It should be as that's the CPU I ordered for my Vostro to play strategy games, memory and the GPU are much more important these days than the CPU. Years ago, say prior to 3D cards it was the CPU that took all the workload.

    Today it's mostly handled by the GPU.

    Why don't you save $100 on the harddrive and just get the 120GB. You can buy an 500G external hard drive with $120.
