    So I ordered an E6500 and what I got according to my my email:
    Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2.40GHz,
    2.0GB, DDR2-800 SDRAM, 2 DIMM for Latitude
    Internal Backlit English Keyboard for Latitude E
    Documentation (English) Latitude E-Family/Mobile Precision
    256MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M for Black Latitude 250GB Hard Drive 9.5MM 7200RPM FFS for Latitude
    FIPS Certified Fingerprint Reader for Latitude E6500
    Black Wide Screen WXGA+ LED LCD for Latitude E6500
    Vista Business Service Pack 1 with media, English, Latitude
    Dell Wireless 410 Bluetooth 2.1 + UWB Minicard for Latitude E/Mobile Precision
    Internal MDC Modem for Latitude E6500
    Integrated VGA webcam with microphone for Latitude E6500
    Intel WiFi Link 5300 (802.11 a/g/n 3X3) 1/2 MiniCard for Latitude E/Mobile Precision

    For 1564 plus tax. I kinda of wishing I got a faster processor but that can you do. I really do not think that you can notice the diffence between a 2.4 and a 2.8 (or can you?). The wierd thing is the agent was $14 less than my on line quote.

    Looks pretty good in terms of specs. The difference between a 2.4 GHz processor versus a 2.8 GHz processor is probably negligible unless you're doing some serious number crunching like running the Folding@Home or SETI@Home distributed applications. Maybe you'd gain a few framerates when playing games as well, but for the most part I don't think you'd notice otherwise.
