Any idea where I can get the Dell Bluetooth 355 Module other than from ebay?
Cos Dell US site doesnt ship overseas.

Can we use VPOSTUSA?

Order thru' DELL Kiosk at Suntec City.

Hey Thanks will try next week

Not worth it cos gonna pay shipping to US + shipping to Singapore, hence pay more.

Total turnaround time is at least one week longer than shipping directly.

Thanks, Diavonex! But there is 2 much technical details for me to digest that this point in time, will explore further during my free time.

Got it from Memory World.

It should not void the warranty. You can easily remove it.

Don't worry, adding RAM to your Dell Computer will not void the warranty.

Ah ok thanks

Yeah hi I found Memory World's (FunanCentre) prices to be extremely high. They were charging S$280 for their 1gig RAM and $170 for their 512mb ram.

If you goto Sim Lim you'll find shops there which sell the same thing for half the price.

I don't mind paying a premium - 20% -30%; but 50% is a rip off.

So I'd definately encourage you to just walk around Sim Lim and check out the prices there.

I bought my 512 RAM for $125.00; no regrets because I'm a sucker for good service and quality.

Is it true that Dell 1505/6400 comes with alot of bloatware?

 

[ter_03_80]

what do u mean by bloatware?

Btw, Dell offer me 1-1 exchange for my 9 cell after I experience high wear of 10% after 3 months usage

You can go to Kingston website, do a search under the Manufacturer for Dell and just follow the prompts.

Advise on Dell 640M ram

Hi, i going to buy a Dell 640M. Plan to put 1 gb ram with dell. So is it cheaper to buy the another 1gb ram outside or just upgrade to 2gb ram with dell? Anyone can advise me? Thanks.

yeah i did actually...but they only gave one particular range of model: eg. KTD-INSP6000B, and thts all the DDR2 667 range...which made me wonder what about the 533 range...
