    The actual computers are exactly the same except for the processor 3200+ vs 3400+. Both are the mobile Athlon 64 versions, not the DTRs. Every other piece of hardware contained within is EXACTLY the same (DVD+-RW, 80 gb hard drive, ATI MR 9600, 15.4" widescreen, etc.).

    I would think that the naming process is to avoid any consumer confusion between the two. Such quick replacements are commonplace in the cutthroat computer market.
