Go for 1X1024MB and add the other 1X1024MB yourself.

in the website, it says:
1GB (2X512MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM

how to request for 1x1024MB instead?

Maybe you should discuss this with the account manager at DELL kiosk (Suntec City).

There's a possibility that they need to operate in pairs.

i'm using Acronis 9 and i think it is good enough for me

 

[Sambuca78]

Yes, you can.

Acronis 9 is not compatible with Windows Vista.

Any way you get free upgrade to Acronis 10 if you buy now.

I'm a member of Challenger, and what I can tell you is that the counter staff (usually) don't check your IC card to verify if you're indeed the person.

That said, there was one occasion where the counter staff did ask for my IC to verify.

where can we purchase Acronis?
would you recommend us to use the free 30 days trial or purchase it instead?

If you have bought Acronis 9.0, do not install

1. Register your Acronis 9.0

2. Log into My Account

3. Download Acronis 10 (latest build 4,942)

4. Install Acronis 10 (have both your license no. handy)

5. Create Rescue CD

On a different topic: the prices for some of the Dell notebooks seems to be increasing in the last fortnight.

E.g. I configured and bought a Dell M1210 for $2508 on the 2nd May. Just a few days after I confirmed the purchase, the same configuration now costs $2720, and this price has held for nearly 2 weeks now including today.

Yeah, the included offer changes quite often, but it's strange to see a configuration cost substantially higher.

notebook hang

hi dell-ers.

i'm running into some probs with my comp. it has started to hang a lot after start up.i wait for it to complete all the startup procedures but once i press the start menu or close a window eg. windows live messenger, it will hang.pointer is moving though. it will either hang or lag for long time which isnt a problem 2 days before.

for add info: i did a windows registry repair after consulting dell support as i had a blue screen problem then. my ie wouldnt work and now the hang problems come.

anyone can help out?

thanks a million..
