<can you give us some details about your order? I wonder shortage of what part is holding things up? > Thats a tough question? Which answer do you want? I have several. 8200 UXGA screen model, P4, 2ghz, 512MB, 64MB graphics card from ATI, 40GB hard drive. Everything but the 64MB graphics card was a Dell packaged "free upgrade". Answer #1. I originally thought it was the graphics chip because that option was taken off the website. Answer #2. Its being shipped tomorrow. (Tomorrow was 3/14) Answer #3. "Well its being tested now. See....you upgraded to a high end 512MB chip and 64MB graphics card....and we have to 'test' that system and make sure it works right" Uh duh but hey guys! I took that right off you website as a "Best Seller" configuration? And I don't want to be your test case. Answer #4. "Its in the shipping phase." Answer #5. From manager today. "We have a shortage on the 8200 display screens." So? I haven't a clue which is an accurate answer or conclusion that could be drawn.
