Gene, Your link didn't work, but I found it. <g> Hmmm. I checked it in Preview and again after I posted it. Maybe it was because I already had the page up in another window. As for the $1999 model, I got the same weird $4100-ish price that you did when I went in through the Home and Home Office section and tried to customize a system. OTOH, when I went to their "Recommended Systems" I got this page (I hope this works (and it appears to in Preview mode)): dell.com It looks like a reasonable system (even better than the one you posted as it includes a 19" monitor, a NIC card, and a free upgrade to a DVD drive through 11/28). If you select the Customize option from the bottom of this page you'll see that RDRAM pricing is roughly $2 per M when you add another 128M ($240 incremental), but that drops to $1.33 per M when you upgrade to 1G ($1200 incremental for an additional 900M). Note that you can also get the price down to $1699 if you have your own monitor. I think there are a number of errors on the Dell site. I think we have to wait till later in the day. I agree. Dave
