isit possible to order 2x512 but later call them then ask them to just put 1 stick instead of 2? if 1 stick then i can add 1 more from outside, cheaper...

i tried b4, the sa told me vista needs to run in dual-channel (ie. must be in pair), so she won't allowed

now Vostro 1400 offer doesn't look attractive, somemore processor is 1.4GHz compared to previous 1.6GHz

However Vostro 1500 offer looks attractive, for RM2799 you get:

Intel Core2 Duo Processor T5470 (1.6GHz, 2MB Cache, 800 MHz FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista Business
15.4" UltraSharp™ Widescreen WXGA+ (1280x800) TFT Display with or without TrueLife
2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
80GB SATA Hard Drive
Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities
NVIDIA(R) GeForce™ 8400M GS with 128MB GDDR3 dedicated graphic memory
No webcam option
Free Delivery

I got in the mail today Dell's offer 6th October onwards, Vostro 1400 still 1.4GHz C2D for RM2199 which RM100 more than today.

Guys what you think about the Vostro 1500 offer mentioned above? Also to get True Life or not? Price same.

it's like that lah, it happened to 640m & 6400 before, when a certain model of proc out of stock, they will use lower-end (sometimes higher-end) as their default config without any price adjustment.

I found a promotion of Vostro 1400 which is not listed out at their website. You can get this by entering the E-value code with Q521007V-WEB. It is bundled with Intel T7250 2.0GHz processor and 2GB RAM with a price of RM2799.

Anyone knows how to get freebies?

yeah.. it's a very nice deal. i got this code from a quotation.

i think the wireless card can support all the mode except n. it should be a dual band tri-mode wireless card. u may refer here http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/pro3945abg/
