M.S. $480 difference. Price difference I got on spot market was $483 or $585-$102. It good to see that Dell is not discounting RDRAM anymore and making real money on RDRAM. john

<..the B comes with RDRAM.> Do you happen to know what grade of RDRAM you are talking about? 266/533, 350/700, or 400/800? <I wonder if Dell is charging a premium for the second 128 just to have enough RDRAM's for more PC's> Or maybe it's a discount for the first 128? BTW, when I tried this few minutes ago, the difference for extra 128MB for B800r machine came at $680...

Hi Mohamed Saba; I believe that the relatively low cost difference in the first 128MB RDRAM machine is because Intel is bundling 128MB with its motherboards and eating the price difference. What say, Jdassoc??? The reason they are doing this, in my opinion, is that the 128MB RDRAM machine would not be price competitive otherwise. But for someone who wants a 256MB machine, or a 768MB machine like the one I have, the price difference is overwhelming. RDRAM is still way too expensive for mainstream PCs. -- Carl
