    Has anybody read anything bad about the Inspiron 6000, (Other than it not being top of the line) like defects and common component failures?

    Also, does anybody know if it can utilize 533MHz RAM?

    No problems on my end other than bundled software issues. No problems after uninstalling the McAffee stuff....

    Would you say the price is worth getting the WUXGA?

    I don't recall the price for the WUXGA versus WSXGA. I am very happy with the resolution and the space. I split the screen between a browser and word, two browsers or Palm desktop/browser. I feel it is worth the price but most compromise with getting the WSXGA instead.
