    This is in my shopping cart. It's a previously ordered new system from the outlet. If you guys wouldn't mind weighing in with your opinion, I'd really appreciate it! Should I pull the trigger????

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't like to post links all over the place because it might be thought of as spam. You can click on my signature image and build a few notebooks. Let me know what interests you and I'll mess with the price to make it work for you.

    I would shoot for around $700-800 for a D620 with those specs... have seen them for as low as $550 after a coupon in dell outlet before... Just be patient and check onece a day or so for a week, you will then know what a good deal is, and once you find one, jump on it! :D

    I haven't really seen any small business coupons lately - all of the ones I've seen have been for Inspirons! Maybe I'm missing something?

    Purchasing your Dell with 1 DIMM of DDR2 does not make much sense unless you plan to get a second DIMM of the same type from somewhere else.
