Guys, I discovered the same thing by adding a second stick of DDR to my system. If you look at the specs it says the 222 settings are for a single stick of DDR. When you add another, those settings change (232, I believe). Apparently, there is added latency when using dual channel.
I'm...
I just got mine and it had a pink piece of paper at the top:
ADDED BONUS: You have just received a higher performance hard drive at no extra cost!
The drive you have received is a Western Digital Special Edition hard drive which features 8 MB cache buffer.
etc., etc, etc.
So, 180GB w/ 8MB...
It depends on your current credit predicament. If you have none and manage to miraculously get approved, it will help. If you have "bad" or troubled credit and are miraculously approved, you have a chance to improve your standing. If you have "Good" credit and are approved, it can help or...
It's not necessarily "bad", but I wanted the 7500! I really want the 9000, but the delay is more than I can bear. I searched for benchmarks on this chipset, but couldn't find anything. I believe this should be the equicelant of the R100 (First Radeon). This can play games, but not very well...
***OK, UPDATE***
Here's how to get the 32MB card instead of the 16MB video card.
Go to HP Shopping and then click on Notebooks. Then on "Customizable notebooks". Here's the secret, instead of clicking on "customize" on the "featured customizations", INSTEAD ... use the drop boxes and select...
How do you do this? When I try, it says only one coupon can be used. If there is a way to save an additional 5% that would be nice. Some instructions would be nice!.
I'm a student of life, does that count? ;)
OK, I'll try it tomorrow ... simply for the 32MB Video card!
ALSO, read my post here for the coupon code. I didn't post the 10% code here, because Anand has a "No Coupon" policy. If I can't link to another deal site, please let me know and I'll fix it.
Very helpful! Was it easy to use the 10% off code over the phone? Did you get the free shipping too? I'll try that, thanks!
I don't understand why they would offer a 16MB video card by default either. When you click on the 5000 it clearly says, "Desktop Replacement". I don't think a 16MB...
I know my post was confusing, I guess the point is you can get a comparible system to the Dell 2650SE for $1139.89 after $100 MIR.
OR if you are like me and are willing to forego the DVD\CDRW combo for a DVD, you can buy it for $1049.89.
I started to buy the Dell 2650SE, but I tend to over research purchase decisions and thought I?d share the findings of another laptop deal I found. Please look over this and let me know if you would purchase this or the 2650SE for the money.
