Chas don't know squatt so for $130 I'll take "the risk" 2 SO DIMM 144 PIN PC100 [64MB] costs only $70 now, so why should I give Dell Shareholders another $130 profit, and be yet another stupid sucker. If I'm buying an $1,960 14" Inspiron 3500 with modem and 6.4mb Hard Drive, this 7% saving for doing my own homework is worth sliding a plastic cover off, and popping in a SODIMM all by myself. If you company paid tech head want to make propaganda here scaring people into buying Dell only components, go right ahead. What will help your stock, is not scaring consumers into getting ripped off, rather getting DELL to make prices on options more competative to begin with. P.S. By the way, Genius, since most notebooks still run under 400mhz, few if any require PC100 rated memory chips. Desktops running at 350mhz or more use PC100 because those motherboards are processor upgradeable to 500mhz, where notebook motherboards are not, so most 350, 366, and 380's only use 66mhz memory to cut cost & heat, and often those that "require" PC100 only do it as a marketing gimmick now that plentiful PC100 memory is actually cheaper than older PC66 chips.
