Dell List Computer Configuration Options in order not random.

Dell list computer configuration options in an ordered list not random! When configuring a computer a list of options for lets say the processor should be in order based on speed or price, here's an example from the Dell Precision M65: O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5600 (1.83GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $37.35] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7600 (2.33GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $398.40] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7400 (2.16GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $207.50] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.00GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $103.75] * Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5500 (1.66GHz/667Mhz) [Included in Price] Whats up with this list? Totally confusing or leads to confusion, for the average Joe, yet again today I had to explain that Dell just lists things randomly not in some optimal way. The list should read like this (or in reverse but in order): * Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5500 (1.66GHz/667Mhz) [Included in Price] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5600 (1.83GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $37.35] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.00GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $103.75] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7400 (2.16GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $207.50] O Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7600 (2.33GHz/667MHz) Dual Core [add $398.40] Make it so and quite confusing your customers!

IdeaStorm, a few if not a ton of your members are double dipping accounts to push their agenda at the cost of your perception. Require unique e-mail registration e-mail address's and require e-mail verification prior to letting them login. Also, IP track them like you attempt to do with Google-Analytics and any dupe accounts should be removed and everything associated with it. You have the resources now use them. Start Jul 2nd. provided by florida web site design Status Update We now require email verification for new users prior to letting them log-in. We also added a function for existing users to update or change the email address they registered with.

Dell change CD/DVD's on your Desktop and Server models (All) to SATA. Using SATA cables reduces any ventilation restrictions which can occur with IDE ribbon cables. SATA also reduces configuration issues for new computer users, reducing support calls. Start Jul 2nd: provided by florida web site design

IdeaStorm either Fix the Jump button to jump to the sections described in this Jump Icon as seen above each page of IdeaStorm or remove it as it is replicated as it stands with the Tabs above. Or Explain what its intended purpose is as it lists four actions yet only does one. How about you separate it to four different buttons with four different actions as listed on each section of the image?

Dell! Look you can not only get on the Green bandwagon but the anti-microbial health conscious bandwagon with the first Anti-Microbial Keyboard! Buy out InduMedical's Anti-Microbial keyboard with Microban® protection and rebrand it with a similarly light blue Dell Logo. This is great for Healthcare, Business, Schools, and even Home use! These can be used at any kiosk computer as well to prevent the spreading of any cooties. This will get Dell in the medical journals as being cutting edge in health well being! Reference Material: http://www.indumedical.com (site currently down unfortunately) Sample Photo for the product: Status Update Check out the Latitude 2100

With the new Duo Core processor at a fast 2.4 GHz and with the Santa Rosa chipset! 6. Make sure it can handle 4 gig of RAM. 7. Incorporate the new solid state hard drive, I think its called SSD drive? Or a large spinning drive like 250 gigs. 8. Slot-loading dual-layer DVD±RW drive! 9. Optional NVIDIA GeForce Go 8400M GS / 128MB 10. WWAN option for Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T 11. Ethernet, 802.11a, a/g, or n options, Bluetooth option 12.

Include headphones and a remote that slides into the computer case so we can hide it and take it along without much fuss. 17. LED lit back screen. 18. Make it so it releases next week if not the end of this week! This will sell like hot cakes! I can provide a few sketches of what it should look like if my description was not clear. PS: Can you offer a Ubuntu version as well? If not how about a FreeDOS version? Come on you sell those already whats it cost to throw in a Ubuntu CD? I can install it if you don't want to. I understand by the way. Status Update Check out the XPS M1330, which also has the option for Ubuntu!
