John, When Intel gets the i815 chipset out, DELL will stop selling RDRAM PC's. That sentiment has already been conveyed to us. We'll be sure to include your feedback in our investment decisions. Good luck! Dave

Petz, <A little dose of reality here: you could nearly double performance by buying a second CPU instead of wasting money on a 5% RDRAM performance increase.> What if your system already has two processors in it? Better yet, what if you want to buy a dual-processor-ready system, but leave one of the CPU slots open? That's certainly a viable strategy for 800 and 866 MHz Pentium III systems. It's easier to plug in a 2nd CPU than it is to convert the entire system from SDRAM to RDRAM. <When Intel gets the i815 chipset out, DELL will stop selling RDRAM PC's.> I doubt it. But if your prediction comes true, do you think that Dell will then reject the Willamette platform because of RDRAM? I think not. Tenchusatsu
