I got my vostro1400 about 3 weeks back, to be exact was on 19th nov, got a 2gb (free upgrade of ram) with vista business and all others standard, at $1386. I have been busy since then, overseas, work all this stuff, causing me no time to try downgrading to xp, though i have been wanting to do so.
then lately, think last week, saw dell latest promo, and saw that now vostro 1400 comes with win xp! i am rather dulan, coz there was no other oprtion than vista thats y i opt vista when i bought online.
so just now i test water, call dell customer care to check if they provide downgrading service. ther person said yes, the procedure is they will arrange delivery to collect from u ($60), then replace with another one (another cost, 10% of the price u bought urs), and then u have to top up whatever difference of the same model same specs tat is selling now. i was like, wat the hell...... then asked if they can send me a copy of the drivers, the person said ned to check, will get back to me by end of day. shall see......

come with Nvida 8400G graphic card?

Upgrade Intel processor

Does anyone knoe where I can upgrade/purchase Intel Core 2 Duo T7700/T7800 processors? Surely Dell do not provide after sales service to upgrade processors for current Inspiron series?

 

[gundamz]

Just order vostro 1400 for $1407+

winxp home edition
160GB harddisk
2gb ram
wxga+ with truelife
nvida 8400M GS
90W AC adaptor(because of the dedicated graphic card)
1 yr warranty

Hmm i tink that it is nt possible to upgrade processors as in the very beginning i kinda tot able to so i went to ask alot of ppl and they said that you can only change the RAM and Hard disk drive.

most likely it is > 2.5kg,

Hmm guess it is the same as my inspiron 1420.

 

[aaaaaaaaaa]

most probably i'll opt for 9cell and 3yrs warrty if i'm going for dell. weight is a major factor to consider.
