RDRAM cost difference: I just priced two Dell Dimension XPS PC's. One T series and one B series. Made them IDENTICAL except for the memory type. The T comes with SDRAM , the B comes with RDRAM. I configured both systems with 128 MB. B: $2499 T: $2289 For $210 you can have RDRAM instead of SDRAM. If, however, you try for 256 MB, the additional 128 MB comes with an additional $480 difference. I wonder if Dell is charging a premium for the second 128 just to have enough RDRAM's for more PC's. If so, then I would expect the cost of the second 128 to drop sharply as soon as supply expands over the next 2-3 months. Mohamed
