Carl, <Is the Optiplex one of those Scandalous Dell RDRAM machines that are actually running their PC700 or PC800 memory at a 566MHz rate?> Why would Dell need to? If the Optiplex is being sold with real PC800 RDRAM, it would be running it at the full 800 MHz rate. It's the PC600 speed that actually runs at 566 MHz on an 820 chipset. But Dell doesn't even give an option for PC600 memory in the new Optiplex GX200. As for PC700, I think it actually runs at 712 MHz. Weird speed, I know. In any case, I think anyone buying an 820 system should get nothing less than PC800 RDRAM. I think Dell knows this as well, which is why they made it the default. Besides, the price difference between PC700 and PC800 RDRAM (128 MB) is only $40 on Dell's page, so there's no excuse not to go with the higher speed. Tenchusatsu
