    I just ordered my e1505 yesterday and today it looks like the model has changed over to a 6400? Do you think Dell can change my order and my great price for the new model at this point? I can't tell any difference between the models?

    The only 2 differences in the models is one is on the Home site and the other is on the Small Business site. They are the same computer. Just like the 944/E1705.

    So there is no differences. Just Dell's way of messing with you! :p

    Yeah, for some reason dell likes to do that. While they are the same computer, you do get different warranty choices - meaning if you buy it from small business, you will be getting the US tech support and the standard stuff for small business. You also get a retail version of XP, or there were doing that awhile back. Not sure if they do anymore or not.

    I got the 4 year warranty that entitled me to 12% off and $150 rebate! Never know how much the true warranty is?
