It was done all secret, like, without my knowledge.

Well it's probably quite tricky to post a thread on here and keep it secret. I'm guessing that it was a 'word of mouth' kind of deal.

Still main thing is PVB gets to continue his sterling efforts unimpeded by duff tech.

and that's what really matters surely?

I'm not knocking it, just explaining how it worked.

Estimated delivery date is 18th June.

We all gathered in a predestined location wearing shadowy hooded cloaks. The password was "Cirencester".

It may even arrive before then PVB - the last thing I ordered from the factory outley arrived a full week before it's suggested delivery date. Tends to take them a couple of days of sorting and then they update the order status showing delivery much quicker

Cheers

Me too. My Dell rolled up well early, which was a very pleasant surprise

Everything's cloaks with you, isn't it?

Quick question:

I ran SiSoftware Sandra on the Dell and part of the report says this:

So, does this mean I have a mobo with PCI Express?

I can't see an AGP slot, only a smaller socket, which might be PCI-E.

Cos I was hoping to swap my 8x AGP 256MB Radeon 9600XT into it.

Yup that's a PCI-Express chipset.

On your machine, depending upon the model, there should be 2/3 PCI
slots, a short PCIe x1 slot, and a long PCIe x16 slot for the graphics
(it'll look a bit like a back to front AGP slot).

Sisoft Sandra seems to not know about your chipset, although
the devices are named (PCI_E_1 and PEG). It might be worth
making sure Sandra is up to date, or getting the latest chipset
drivers from Dell or Intel.

SS says this about the chipset:

And here's what I think is the gfx PCI-Express slot:

(The card in the PCI slot is a Firewire card)

Here's the whole system (big pics):

Very good cooling on Dells IMHO, a nice big slow fan with a duct.

I'm not saying this is important, but do you have an up to date version
of Sandra? I'd have thought it would know what the slots are and wouldn't
say 'Unknown'. It's probably no big deal as your other pic from Sandra
implies the correct drivers are installed.
