  2. Well, even through Dell Outlet Store, it's 100% returnable. But I just called and checked. My order is processing and scheduled to be shipped on Wednesday, April 30. I could have cancelled but I decided I'm going to just go ahead and take delivery. I can check it out for a couple weeks and make sure it's what I want. Even though I paid a little more for it than most T3400 systems in the outlet store; If I like it, I'll prolly keep it. And I was just thinking. So what if I did spend a few hundred extra. It's no big deal and I reckon it won't hurt that it's mega-fast. :D

  4. Now, now... Let's not get testy. :)

    Excuse me for being a little excited about getting my new system. I'm sure y'all know the feeling. In any event, I'll try to quit blabbing about my new Dell and sorry for hijacking your thread. :p

    didn't really undestand all this fuzz about dell. if you buy same thing,using parts from newegg for example-it will cost you probably 300-500$ less.

  9. That's a great rig that you ordered.
    TOTAL OVERKILL, but still an amazing price!

    Compare that to this refurbished T3400 that comes with an E6850 Intel Duo-Core 3.00 processor with a 525 watt PSU and 2 gigs of ECC 667 SDRAM, and a 73 GB SAS Hard Drive at 15,000 RPM with the nVidia NVS 290 graphics card for $949.00

    System ID: 0GX18R1A

    P.S. Your QX9650 has 12 MB of L2 cache to my 6 MB of L2 cache on my 2.60 Duo-Core E8200 that I bought new back in early April.
    :D

    Again, your broadband connection, location of the trading server ( miles away ), and your router will most likely be where the real "bottleneck" potential lies when it comes to trading functionality - - - not the hardware!
