    Anyone else notice the Part Numbers on their packing slips are different than the part numbers on the Dell site?

    For example, with my M1330

    LED screen on Dell site
    1 RP774 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY..., 13.3 WXGA, VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC...., TLF, TRANSFORMER METROPLEX DESKTOP...

    LED screen on packing slip
    1 RR375 13.3 Inch Wide Screen WXGA TL WLED Backlit LCD with Camera, XPS M1330

    (this screen shows up as MONITOR\LCD2306 under Hardware IDs in Device Manager)

    processor on Dell site
    1 P219D PROCESSOR..., T9300, 2.5, 6MB, CPEN, C0

    processor on packing slip
    1 HR824 XPS M1330, Intel Core 2 Duo T9300(2.5GHz, 800Mhz, 6M L2 Cache),

    video card on Dell site
    1 U8042 ASSEMBLY..., BASE (ASSEMBLY OR GROUP)..., DISCRETE..., 128M, M1330

    video card on packing slip
    1 PN039 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS, for XPS M1330

    optical drive on Dell site

    optical drive on packing slip
    1 JM048 8X DVD +/- Slot Load Drive for XPS M1330

    hard drive on Dell site
    1 NW587 HARD DRIVE..., 320G, Serial ATA..., 9.5, 5.4, SMSNG-M6

    hard drive on packing slip
    1 WP875 320G 5400RPM SAMSUNG Hard Drive

    adapter on Dell site
    1 XK850 ASSEMBLY..., ADAPTER..., ALTERNATING CURRENT..., 65W, 3P, DELTA - AC ADAPT..., M1330

    and they seem to list the cord separately
    1 J2551 CORD..., POWER..., 110V, 3F, ALTERNATING CURRENT..., 3W, PROPOSITION 65..., UNITED STATES...

    adapter on packing slip
    1 JM322 65 Watt Spare Small AC Adaptor for XPS 1330

    memory on Dell site
    2 Y9540 DUAL IN-LINE MEMORY MODULE..., 2GB, 667, 256X64, 8K, 200

    memory on packing slip
    1 MG952 4GB, DDR2, 665MHz 2 Dimm, for XPS M1330


    On the Dell site, I found the Part Numbers by logging into My Account, Choosing My Systems & Peripherals, adding the Service Tag (if necessary), and clicking the Service Tag number. For some reason I get a Server Error 500 when I try to view my Invoices on the Dell site, so I can't see Part Numbers that way.

    Anyway, did Dell change their Part Numbers or have they always referred to the same item by two different Part Numbers?
