I promised to come back to this site on the Dell blog, when Dell took care of the XPS 700 customers. I knew, after my first visit to Dell headquarters, when I met Michael Dell and people like you Lionel, that there was hope for the customer. A public thank you to Dell on the day that I became a Dell Community Forum member 3-24-06, which was quite a day 52 years ago! So my mom says! Thank you Lionel for your involvement from the beginning.

Hi,

I'm sorry my english is so poor.

I have a XPS 700 with X6800 and 2 * 7950 GX 2.

Now I get 2 videocards ASUS EN8800 GTX and when I install them into the XPS I have an error, I want to know if there is any incompatibility between XPS 700 and a 8800 GTX SLI ?

Does my power supply sufisant? I have the original 750 W PSU of the XPS inside...

Thanks

I am doing a High School report on the Dell Company. I need to find out some information on how your company first got started, however I could not find anything on your site. Could you please help me out a little...

For the most part, I am ok with the performance of the XPS 700 (except OCing). However, I have not been happy with what has gone on with the chipset and form factor. The 590 and the BTX form factor are both near the end of life. Whatever happened to the "Industry Standard" BTX upgrade we could put in the XPS 700? How can something be an industry standard which almost does not exist? Not thrilled about this. Not happy about it at all. I relied on Dell to give me top of the line stuff in the XPS 700. They failed miserably. They removed features of the 590 chipset and did not disclose it to the customer and basically lied to us about the "upgradeability" of this computer. I sure hope Dell is somehow going to make this up to us XPS 700 customers. That's the only way I would buy a future high end system from Dell. This system lured me away from the DIY scene. But, this failure has all but pushed me right back to it. You want my money? Make it right Dell....for your benefit and ours.

I have finally received my XPS 700 system and I must say I am extremely frustrated. Waiting for months and then finally receiving a product that was falsely advertised (Nvidia 590 Chipset) is not acceptable.

Lionel,

You need to contact me and Dell needs to offer some sort of compensation. I have received nothing in return. Payment for this machine will not be made until something is done. If Dell does nothing, Dell can wait as I will not pay for something that is different than what was advertised. Give me what was advertised or a rebate to justify the false advertising.

I have waited for months. If I hear nothing back, Dell can wait!Sounds familiar!!!

I find your comments about supporting the Core2Duo to be quite misleading. Saying that the unit supports this processor implies that the features of this processor will be available when in fact all the imporant ones are disabled in the XPS 700:

1) Your BIOS specifically blocks VT support, thereby undermining one of the biggest driving factors behind business wanting a system with this CPU (i.e. virtualisation).
2) A problem with the BIOS in the XPS 700 currently precludes the installation of 64-bit Windows, despite the processor being EMT64.

As far is I understand it, Windows Vista is built from the bottom up to exploit the VT feature of the Core2Duo. So you're not talking straight about the Vista readiness of this system either as long as you continue to disable this feature...

You've pulled the wool over your customers' eyes. Shame on you Dell!

Hi guys,
I am having lots of issues with XP64 bit. My lots of softwares are not running. I tried to download their XP64 versions but did not find. Even my SAMSUNG ML-2101 printer and Kworld Video capture cards are not working with x64 OS. Now I am going to install XP-Pro 32bit. I just wanted to share my experience. If any of you guys have encountered any issues with XP64 bit, please share on this forum.
