I got the one in my sig from the outlet for $739 +tax. Only an 80 GB HD though.

Got the E1505 in my sig for $739 from the outlet.

As a rule, the highest you can upgrade is the top card that the laptop comes with. Unfortunately, you already have that.

Wow, the E1505/6400 sure is a popular laptop recently :D So for the umpteenth time: I paid $739 thru the outlet for the one in my sig. The one you have spec'd out there has a few more options, are they worth it? That's your call. I recommend the outlet to anyone. Same warranty, better...

I have the WXGA, and I can't imagine things being any smaller. I'm happy with it.

Well, I got a Core2Duo T5600 1.83 GHz 1 GB RAM x1300 80 GB HD DVD Burner Wireless WXGA with trulife For $739 + shipping from the outlet. Are your upgrades worth the difference? I don't know - that processor was pretty pricey when I was shopping.

You'll probably get it sooner than you think.

I have almost the same thing, but with the DVD burner and a Core2Duo as in my sig. Also came with the 9 cell and Media Center w/ the free upgrade to Vista. Paid $739 + shipping through the outlet.

Over on the notebook forums, they claim it's more around 1GB, but I don't know. Mine is gone, and Dell never sent me a mediadirect disc. I'm too lazy to ask for one. Seriously, how long does it really take just to boot the damn thing?

I haven't gotten my copy of Vista yet, but I read that it has a function to access a thumbdrive kindof like system RAM... any truth?

Watch out, if you have Mediadirect you will lose it if you delete partitions and format. Mediadirect needs its own partition separate from the main one you run windows on. Oh, and I took someones advice here, ditched McAfee and tried avg/zonealarm, zonealarm gave me some massive lag spikes...

Hmm. After a format I am running 53. Mcafee, firefox, wireless, all I'm doing at the moment.

No worries, I recently bought a scratch & dent E1505 and it's spotless.

My Dell flickers occasionally when running on batteries, but its very rare.

It was my understanding that both the radeon cards share system memory... i.e. my "128MB"(x1300) is actually only 64, and the "256MB" (x1400) had only 128. That being said, mine runs BF2142 pretty smooth on low settings, just gets a hair choppy when I'm standing close to an explosion. Better...

That vid card is the top one you can get on that laptop. Mine has the X1300. Sucks that it gave you problems. Getting another or is it a flat out return?

I just got (and am typing on) a Dell E1505 with Core 2 Duo T5600, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD, 15.4 widescreen with Truelife, DVD burner, and a Radeon X1300 vid card. I haven't installed much yet but it runs BF2142 smooth on low settings while still looking decent - except during explosions close up it...

Try the video drivers straight from ATI, not the Dell ones. http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/ Or try the Omega ones, but I didn't like them.
