Anything I should call in about? I want to make sure i get the XPS goodies, but i didnt see them on the invoice.

 

looks good but you should get the lowest ram possible and get a 320gb 5400rpm hdd

 

i already have a 750gb external. so i wasnt sure about the additional HD size. I also didnt have the option of downgrading my ram. the deal came with 4gb which sucks because it ships with vista 32.

 

ask a friend for a copy of his vista x64, and use the CD key under ur laptop to activate...

im guessing u bought from Dell EPP right?>......

[the deal comes with 4GB and 250GB.... $50 to upgrade to 320GB.... as well get an external hard drive 500GB for $100]

 

my 750gb external arrives tomorrow.
and yes, epp.

 

how do you get such a low price, when i build the same specs as you i get over $1600?
