    It's been mentioned in a few threads, but I wanted to confirm that the "order confirmation" email from Dell that lists some 1720s with "250gb 5400 rpm EIDE" hard drives is in fact a typo. I spoke to about Dell Rep about Item #NN655, which corresponds to the hard drive in my Order Status, and it is actually a 250gb 5400 rpm SATA drive.

    Hope this clears up any confusion that people may have had. I searched for a definitive answer on the forums and didn't find one, but sorry if this is old news.

    thats interesting I intentionally ignored all outlet computers with the EIDE drives. I assumed that it was correct and they were original systems that had a much older motherboard
