The first question is how much memory did you buy on this PC? Only 64mb? If so, then you need to buy more (see Crucial Configurator below). If not, then either they didn't put in the memory you ordered, or some of it is bad.
Do you have the invoice you ordered under?
If not, if you send me a message (see Message above with the little envelope), with your Service tag and zipcode, I think I can look it up for you.
Clean your screen - turn off your PC. Use a damp soft cloth. Wipe screen carefully, then buff dry with another soft cloth. Then wipe your keyboard and pointer area, avoiding the pointer tip.
Don't upgrade your Norton Antivirus! Buy it new or SystemWorks or Internet Security (each of which contain Antivirus), and take advantage of their FREE after rebate promos that run all the time - just keep your eyes open. When the new Quicken comes out Antivirus will be free, also when TurboTax comes out. Lots of chances to not spend money to upgrade!
Why can't I track my UPS package? Per Dell-Chandler - The packages are picked up from Dell by UPSLG, which is owned by UPS. UPSLG doesn't scan the packages. They deliver the packages to UPS' regional hubs where they then will receive the initial scan. During the time from when they are picked up from Dell to the time they are scanned at the UPS regional hub, they are not able to be tracked. As soon as they reach the UPS regional hub they will be scanned in to UPS' system, which, depending on where you live, could take as long as 3 days..

In Production means that Dell expects to the parts in house in time to make the ship date that they have given you. It does NOT mean that all the parts are in the factory and that your machine is almost ready.
Testing on a laptop means that your machine is enjoying cocktails on the airplane coming over from Malaysia... It will ship soon.

That machine with that OS should have a minimum of 128mb of RAM, preferably 256mb just to avoid potential performance issues.

Thank you for using the Dell | Talk forum.
The system specs show the system only has 64MB of ram.
You need to upgrade to at least 256MB to get the system performance you
are looking for.
