Dell's ripping people off

What's the difference?  Just Vanderpool?  Dell has had occassional typos like this before, most recently that I can remember on FSB speeds.  As the 'E' is newer, I'd say they just forgot to update their order page.

i have jus ordered dell 640 m inspiron myself.!!! in india... no one here even knows one can order online.!! i'm rather scared if they do this!!! in that case maybe buying a toshiba or acer would've been better ... do tell me what you did when you found out about this

I believe Virtualization Technology will allow one to run more than one OS simultaneously whereas the T2300E lacks VT and is only able to run one OS of a dual boot machine at a time.  Some literature indicates the 2300 has 1MB cache per core whereas the T2300E has a single 2MB cache that is shared between the cores similar to the upcoming Core 2 Duo architecture.

either way for a normal user there is basically no difference in the T2300 and T2300E. I would not say that they are ripping people off.

You're apparently ignorant in my opinion.

In this case, simply contact Dell and tell them what your findings are.

I'm sure they'd be happy to replace your laptop / processor with the proper hardware.




Don't say they're ripping people off, if you're intelligent enough to actually know what the difference is then contact them and I'm sure they'll replace it.

Check the shipping invoice.  Then there is your proof.  I know their shipping department can make mistakes. I ordered  a laptop las t November and got a Port Replicator and monitor stand with  it .  Can't even use it with my laptop.. A $200  value  waste  until I can sell or trade it .  It was fun trying to figure out how to use it before I realized it wasn't even on the shippping invoice.  Sure I called them on it, Their (HA HA )  Customer service but I still got it and I'm keeping it because Dell sold me a refurbished computer as new. But that's another subject.

Looks like you got better than you ordered.
