    Hey all.

    This may sound petty but I'm serious and would like a few opinions, or if I am in the wrong please let me know.

    I reordered a 9400 last week, I am sending back my current one to upgrade to a UXGA screen. I have next day shipping. Now according to my tracking, it was recieved (and "shipped") by UPS Saturday. So wouldn't "Next Business Day" be today, Monday? The scheduled Delivery is set for tomorrow.

    Now not to be nitpicky but shouldn't it be here today? I mean I did pay for next day shipping for a reason. I want to get my system since I'm going to have to do all my personalizations and stuff all over again. I'm anxious to get the system so I can get it the way I like and enjoy it.

    Is Next Business Day like Shipped Monday and to me on Tuesday, or should it be here today being it was shipped Saturday?

    Thank you. :)

    To me it is like being shipped on Monday, delivered on Tuesday. if it had been shipped on Friday, then you would have gotten it today.

    It also probably depends on what time it was actually shipped on Saturday. If it was really late, then being delivered tomorrow would be right.


    Just my opinion.

    ZeonStar,

    I to was awaiting the overnight delivery of an exchange for my broken from the factory E1705. As of Saturday the status was "in transit" to the local carrier....which it still states even though FedEx just delivered it to me.

    When I called dell this morning (before it arrived) the customer service did not actually know when it was going to arrive. Sometimes, I do not believe that Dell's right hand knows what the left is doing.

    Hopefully, like me you will get it today.

    Thanks you two. I'll just let it go. Today, tomorrow. Whatever I suppose. :) Just anxious to see if all this was worth it for the better screen. It better be. :)

    Btw SG, I have been meaning to ask you this forever: How did you get 1.2 Gigs of Ram? How the heck do you get that number?

    Nice new sig. Nice new screen. :)

    LOL, simple 1gb stick + 256 stick. I don't really have much use for 2gbs.

    Err ok I'm not really this dumb. I should of known that! I have been just been buying Ram in pairs for so long (Dual channel and all that) that I guess I don't think in the terms that you don't HAVE to have matching sticks of Ram anymore. If that makes any sense...

    I use to be that way. I always wanted to have matching ones so that everything worked as fast as possible. Then I realize there isn't much difference between the two.

    i think it is just a preference thing. I'm not a gamer so no sense in me spending the extra bucks for memory that I don't need. I only use about 50% of the RAM that I have now.
