    A large portion of the European Dell websites seems to be down at the moment. Being updated with the upcoming systems (e4200/e4300/Inspiron 910/M6400) perhaps??

    The site was also down yesterday morning and, when it came back up, the backlit keyboard and the slim PSU options for the E6400 had disappeared. :confused:

    The E6500 and E6500 appeared on 12th August without the site going down. The new pages get built in the background and then a few pages are updated to include links to all the new products.

    i'm crossing my fingers for new pricing on the 4th and a match by dell for a better deal.. if not, just won't be as cheap, but still a killer laptop :)

    Is the quality the same between Dell's memory sticks and third party versions (e.g., NewEgg)? Will this void my warranty? How do I know which memory stick I need (I want 4 gig of ram)?

    it will NOT void your warranty. it is EASY to do. and the quality of third party vendors is probably a great deal better than dell. newegg is not a vendor, they are a reseller. just check reviews of the ram. pqi, kingston, crucial are all good. if you want 4 gig of ram you want 2 2GB sticks of PC2-6400 RAM (assuming you are talking about the 6x00 or 5x00 models). you want low latency, so get CAS latency of 5.

    edit -- note john's clarification -- he is right on.

    Just to clarify, PC2-6400 200 pin SODIMM such as this. Otherwise you might get desktop RAM.

    indeed -- good clarification. I neglected to put it because if you buy from newegg, you just click laptop ram and avoid the confusion :p -- Hope that is helpful :)

    Do you guys happen to have a direct link to the RAM I need (4 gig for E6400 laptop)?

    Are there some instructions available somewhere that tell me step-by-step how to install this?

    Also, are there any other DIY upgrades that you would recommend besides the RAM that would cut the price of a new E6400?
