Orion,

Also a little bad news. Since Friday, Dell has increased the prices on PC700 RIMMS, and PC800 RIMMs are no longer an option (they were an option on Friday). The following table shows the cost of configuring a base system with RIMMs (the base model comes with 128M, which is why it's $0 -- after that the prices represent upgrade prices to go to that level of memory).

1/21 1/24
PC700 128M ECC $0 $0
PC700 256M ECC $981 $1180
PC700 384M ECC $1421 $1770
PC700 512M ECC $1821 $2320
PC800 128M ECC $101 NA
PC800 256M ECC $1041 NA
PC800 384M ECC $1531 NA
PC800 512M ECC $1981 NA

On top of this, the base price went up $100 without any changes in the configuration.

Dave

p.s. Sorry, I've forgotten the code to switch to fixed-width font in the middle of a document.

dave,
i agree the pricing is outrageous.
could it be they are sold out? or is it a production problem still?
are you going to the shareholders' meeting? if not i may fly out.
