Re: Vista

TDP (topdog69@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Laptops take "sodimm" memory chips and after a bit of googling I'm
afraid 2 gig do not yet exist in this format

Strange how Crucial only want £50+vat for 2GB for an entry-level Inspiron,
then.

also if the laptop is that cheap the memory may well be soldered in as in
some Packard Bell laptops

There's cheap and there's inexpensive. I've never yet seen a Dell laptop so
cheap as to have memory soldered in, but I have seen them more inexpensive
than Packard Bells.

sadly people do not tend to think of such things when being "geed up" by
a sales person..also.also as an aside I wouldn't touch "Dell" with a
bargepole as they are solely "online" with no physical stores/shops to be

"geed up" by a sales person in...?

able to take any problems to,there have been many complains about the
service and pc's that they sell..

This is my fifth Dell laptop in a row. Total failures to date have been one
PSU and one DVD-RW drive. I've specified and ordered somewhere around £50k
of Dell hardware in the last year or two, and had no real problems with
them, except for a tower-to-rack conversion kit for an old server being
incorrectly listed as available. The full refund came quickly, and I must
get round to listing the incorrect one on eBay some time, since they didn't
want it back.

You stick to PC World, mate, I'll stick to Dell.
