Reply: (edit)it says 256 mb and a free memory upgrade is NOT included in the price ... i rang the dell hotline and asked about the offer and the sales rep confirmed it 'as is'. when i told the guy that according to ms, a vista capable pc should have a minimum of 512 mb ram, he said: 'oh, i didn't know that ... but i'll gladly pass your information on, sir' LOL Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Reply: (edit)It's probably a mistake. The last time I saw Dell selling a PC with 256mb of RAM had to be in...2005. My Super P3:
Pentium III-S 1.4GHz @ 1.58GHz, 512K L2
X800XT All-in-wonder, overclocked to 580/600.
250GB HD
2 gigs of PC2100 RAM
QDI Advance 12 mobo, this baby rocks!
