    Just sent mine in to get replaced. I pray for dell depot to get it work right but I do not have high hopes.

    I feel empty without it :(

    You all rock!

    I'm at 16GB (Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz, 2x8GB DDR3 from Fry's Electronics, FRYS.com | Corsair) without a hitch. Totally changes what I can achieve with this machine and how many years I can keep it. Of course I will have to get a proper HD (running a 128GB SSD right now, which is full). Once I do that, I can run my own little hadoop cluster in my lap...

    Just tried to upgrade to the A15 BIOS and was told I need to upgrade to the A05 BIOS first... doesn't seem to be available :( Any clues? I'm running A02 now (and wondering what I"m missing, with the quad core i7-- speed? anything else?)

    Is anyone besides me having trouble with Dell's driver and download site trying to get A15 Bios update. I have been trying for more than 1 week now and keep getting this error: "Sorry, the requested file could not be downloaded" ??
