"I may want to get an 8100 with non-Rambus RAM so later upgrades of RAM are easier/cheaper." - You're gonna have to wait a while, maybe a long while. 8100's use Pentium 4 chips. And right now P4's support only Rambus memory (Pentium III's give you the choice of SDram or RDram depending on the motherboard). In short, if you want a P4, you get Rambus - period. INTC is expected to introduce support for other memory types for the P4 later this year. "...they could make it easier to do business with them." - Amen. Dell is not known for giving a world of choices to their customers. But they are known for being the best of butt-buddies with Intel and Microsoft. So "...I'd like to order both an Inspiron and a desktop and pay for some software once." - Ain't never, ever gonna happen! For reasons that should be glaringly obvious. (Unless you wanted to try that at your local white box vendor. <g> At least then you would have a non-zero chance.) S

You just can't make some people happy. They'll find something to gripe about, even if it's free. I want Norton SystemWorks, so getting Norton Antivirus is a waste, even getting it free (after the free period, you have to pay by subscription for LiveUpdate). If you get Systemworks with Norton Antivirus, you'd have to pay for the antivirus subscription after 1 year anyway, wouldn't you?. Are you suggesting you'd have to pay twice? <g> I don't think so. Dell offers popular options that millions of buyers have found very satisfactory -- enough so to have them come back again and again. Customer loyalty and satisfaction are industry-leading. My brother-in-law just got his newest Dimension last week, (with free Norton antivirus,) and is extremely pleased. His 4th Dell. Are you short the stock?
