Hi kapkan4u:

I'm surprised Dell's committing to such an early shipping date...Just don't think that'll provide time enough for the necessary PWeeIIII blood transfusion!

Kap,

<So you order on the first day of availability and your ship date is 7 weeks away. Dell is becoming a joke, just as the big brother Intel.>

Does your system have DRDRAM in it? I wonder if there was DRDRAM or any special component in your selection that pushes delivery to 2/7.

Nevertheless, this runs counter to Dell's claim of shipping 800MHz machines in 20-30 days depending on component availability.

That's amazing, I ordered one today and they said it would arrive in a week. Are you just pulling our leg?

So why are you getting it, or are you going to cancel and not wait that long?

Kal Kan - Re: "I ordered Dell Dimension XPS B800r system yesterday."

Are you SERIOUS ?

You really ordered a DELL Coppemine PC ?

Why didn't you order an AthWiper from somebody else ?
