<A comrad at work just bought a Dell -- well equipped -- with 128M of RDram for $1600 -- PIII-600, monitor, real good video, modem, great speakers -- $700 more than the cost of the ram at the time.> Your friend probably got PC600 or PC700 RDRAM, not the full-speed PC800. Even I wouldn't expect to buy a Dell computer with 128MB of PC800 RDRAM for under $2000. Then again, can't the spot prices of RDRAM (i.e. grey-market, the prices we see on Pricewatch.com) differ wildly from contract prices (i.e. the prices that Dell pays per agreement)? Tenchusatsu
