Chuckles and HillBilly,
Thank you both for posting your CPU information. HillBilly, when did
you purchase your 8400? It appears Dell began shipping E0 steppings
sometime after early December (at least for the 3.2 GHz CPUs). If I
buy now, I just might get the E0 stepping, or maybe not. I guess it
would depend what Dell has in stock for the processor speed I select.
Thanks again.
