Has anyone taken delivery of the New Studio XPS 435/8000/9000?

Cosmos,

What's the latest?

Any way, my 435T was shipped Wednesday, it arrived Thursday, and I am setting it today, Saturday.  It replaces my 7 year old Dimension 8200.  So, this is really 2009!! - no parallel port , no floppy drive, no USB 1, USB 2 actually built in, etc..  The machines are now coming through with the A07 BIOS - thank you very much.  Well, back to upgrades and configuration, and I have so many programs to install. You will love this machine

Hydrox,

Are you having any of the slow boot issues?

Brian,

I read a post in which a response from Dell tech was posted and at least one of the problems seemed to be Logitech (keyboard/mouse) related.

Do you have the Logitech KB/M? It stated it took two minutes to load the driver.

I played around with the start up programs and cut my boot time in half.

I stopped CCC (catalyst control center), windows defender, and a few others and it did help.

I turned them back on though.

I also updated my video driver (4870) and had a ton of errors and startup problems.

I had to restored it back to the day prior and everything was fine.

Not much jjon, I'm ignoring the slow boot time, waiting on Dell for a fix. Other thing is the CCC errors that come once in a while, though not as often now. I just got one today in a week.

Meanwhile, having some small free programs (that I'm all used to) not working with Vista64. Other than that, the machine works great so far.  Enjoy playing my game!

Glad to hear that, overall I am very happy with mine as well.

Cosmos,

Got your request but accidently deleted it on my blackberry, try sending again.

Hydrox, Are you having any of the slow boot issues?

Slow boot is not an issue.  My boot time to logon is just under 30 seconds.  I haven't tweaked any startup settings at all, and haven't had any ati catalyst center issues.  My keyboard and mouse are Logitech Bluetooth, and the drivers are loaded and ready in that 30 second time period.  I will be checking out how well "next business day" service works tomoorow.  I will say more on the owner's forum about my power supply issues.

Hydrox

Hydrox,

Too bad about all the problems. Report back when the power supply is installed!

Hydrox,

Are you running a UPS ?

I know, I couldn't let it die on 1119!

Can you get me a good deal on a Guitar amp??

I dont think I've ever seen such a valiant effort to keep a thread going.  Although crickets seem the norm as of late,  you will not be denied.

I would not be surprised to see you enter a post here in 2010.  heh...
