    Hello, I bought and paid for a e1505 duo core T2400 (fsb-667 Mhz) two weeks ago. When I ran benchmark program PC Wizard 2006, the software detected T1400 solo core processor at fsb-166 Mhz vice T2400 duo core. Also, included was 1 GB of ram at FSB -533 Mhz, but software detected FSB-266. I'm pretty new with benchmarking, I was wondering if the PC Wizard 06 is giving me the correct information. I know that Dell does sell e1505 solo core processor, but I bought the T2400. Is there another (reliable) way to find out what specification is on my laptop? I am wondering if dell cheated me by giving me a solo core instead. Please help.--Nann

    i don't think the t1400 is an option for the e1505, so there is something wrong. you might want to check with a different software....

    Also, on the RAM--it is DDR2 ram so you double the number, hence 2x266. ( know that equals 532 and not 533 when you do that, but you have the correct RAM.
