It could be anything really, it's quite generic. Onboard sound, USB 2.0, 2 memory slots, onboard NIC. Nothing special.

Ok, one more question, If I did want to throw this processor on a new motherboard. How hard is it going to be to get to the processor off the motherboard, from the picture on the dell site it looks like they have a very "interesting" cooling setup to say the least.
What are you talking about? I don't know of any major company that gives you free installation. Do you know what they mean by installation? That added optional charge is for them to send a Dell technician to your door with your computer and plug your monitor/keyboard/mouse into the back of the computer then tell you what icons are and how to send email. I doubt many people ever pay $100-$200 to do this. I certainly don't need to pay $100 to plug my monitor into my computer. Does IBM do this for free? No. Gateway - no. HP or Compaq - no. Alienware or other similar smaller companies - no. So what are you complaining about?Originally posted by: new2pc
Any one noticed DELL configuration shows installation as an option (basic and peripheral)
I thought the basic installation is part of selling their product. Looks like it is make believe reduce price and add it back on as option.:disgust:

I got the same question, I went to the Dell boards and it seemed that these Dell MB's are picky about their ram (granted the boards are designed for people who can hardly opperate their tv remote let alone a computer). I was going to order 512 of samsung pc 2700, but am holding off right now, anyone tried to upgrade the ram and encounter any problems? Or know if these MB's are particular about their ram?
