Lawrence - Boy did you miss the boat when you ordered your DELL. The latest DELL 300Mhz comes with a 9.1GB Ultra ATA DD option... The new SEG Medalist Pro 9140: 7200rpm 2.29GB/platter 194Mb/s 33.3MB/s Interesting. The last SEG DD to be shipped by DELL was the ST32149A(2.1GB!) A LONG time ago. Is this a big deal to anyone else? todd BTW, 6 week lead time. Makes sense because SEG said it would be Feb before vol delivery back when they announced the DD on 13Oct97.

If you bought a Dell recently you are entitled to price protection for 30 days. I noticed someone was talking to you about your recent purchase and I thought this might be some useful info. regards

Off topic. Even though Dell gives you 30 day price protection, it doesn't protect you from equipment upgrades. I had a small problem with my laptop. Seemed like the balance was off on the speakers. They sent me a new one and let me keep the old one in the mean time. New one came with faster CDROM. Maybe you'll get a larger hard drive? Also, price protection is only given when asked for. Be sure to call them after 30 days to see if the price changed. Regards Mark
