Seotton,

Keep in mind the RDRAM installed in Dell desktops is currently the 266 Mhz (PC 533??) version,

In spite of the fact that the Dell site says that the Dimension RDRAM runs at 266Mhz (in their help screen), there's no such thing as 266Mhz RDRAM. The only options are PC600, PC700 (which is really something like PC 712 or something) and PC800. There doesn't seem to be a clear answer to what they're using in the Dimension B series -- we've had people who've posted that they've been told both PC700 and PC800 (I just tried to call and was told that they can't provide technical answers on Sunday night at 10:00; go figure <G>). The Optiplex GX300 only offers PC800. The Precision Workstation line only comes with RDRAM and in the 220 you can get PC700 or PC800, in the 420 you can get PC600 or PC800, and in the 620 you can only get PC800 (whew!).

Dave

PC533, and I thought going down to PC600 was bad.. I thought DELL was using PC700.. If what your saying is true this is even worse news as what does anything below PC700 do for you except slow your PC down?
