I just got a call from the friendly Dell lady, telling me that my order won't be shipped til 11/4/02

I ordered on the 21st.


I wonder if they do this to see if you cancel the killer-deal order.

Check your order . . . I got the same call today, then I checked my order . . . it was being built, tested, boxed and is now on the way to the shipper!

 

[ThaiBruin]

I got the call this morning too... ordered 10/21, new ship date of 11/04... but i just checked the status and it is now in the testing phase... so hopefully they'll ship it by monday or tuesday the latest.... *fingers crossed*

Thanks for the info. I'm not a moron, though, I found it. Woohoo!

I'm just a scatterbrained dweeb!

Although we had anticipated being able to ship your order sooner, we are experiencing an unexpected delay and we will not be able to ship your your order until 11/1/2002. We apologize for the delay. We will continue working hard to get your order to you.

Mine said still "In Transit", then the UPS guy came. Gotta love living near a assembly center.

 

[gonzo2k]

Anyone know what's the slowest CPU that can be switched into this system? I bought in on this mainly for the P4 2.4 and the LCD+.
Wanna give the box to my brother for Xmas but he's not getting a faster system than mine!

I got ya beat, I'm a procrastinating tight assed lazy ass Ferengi

I believe the minimum this mobo will support is a socket 478 celeron 1.7. I think its roughly equivalent to a 1.3 Duron. You are mean to your brother.

Where is the rebate, in the box, or on a dell site PDF?

3d Mark comparison with the same computer hardware

GF4 TI4400 = 9486
GF4 TI4200 = 8882
ATI R8500 = 8414
GF3 TI 500 = 7783
GF4 MX460 = 6139
GF4 MX440 = 565
GF 2 GTS = 4312

Hope that helps.

Actually that doesn't help much. The GF4 MX 420 is different than the 460 and 440 in more than just core clock speed, meaning you can't just scale down the score from 440 and 460 speeds.

The memory on the 420 is only SDR SDRAM at 166MHz instead of DDR SDRAM @ 400/550 like on the 460 and 440. Total bandwidth on the MX 420 is only 2.6GHz, about the same as a GF2 MX. But the GF4 MX has bandwidth saving features (z-compression, fast Z clear, MSAA, HSR) and a more efficient memory controller than the GF2 MX. The GF4 MX 420 will easily outrun the GF2 MX, but it's not as fast as a GF3 Ti200 at stock speed. On average, it's pretty close to the performance of the Radeon 7500 (@ 290/470) without FSAA or anisotropic enabled. That's not too shabby for a SDRAM card.

the geforce4 mx 420 on the dell system is most definitely DDR SDRAM at 332MHz, not SDR SDRAM at 166. as iwearnosox pointed out, some of these 420 boards come with DDR SDRAM. if you run the coolbits tweak in the registry, you'll see that the stock memory speed on this puppy is 332. i've bumped it up to 415MHz with no problems so far.

great system by the way. so unbelievably quiet, especially in comparison with my athlon xp1700+ system. awesome buy. now i just have to find some quality 512MB DDR 2700 SDRAM at a good price. any suggestions?

Ok . . . I think I'm missing something here . . . the rebate is for the Dimension, purchased between 10/24 - 10/30.
This isn't valid for us . . . I'm lost . . . what rebate are you talking about, specifically??
