Question about XPS 720
Hi,
Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
So, on April, 11th, i ordered a dell xps 720 (not H2C) with a Quad-Core Processor Q6600, 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz, Hard Drive 1TB Serial ATA Raid 0 "Stripe" (2x500GB) (7200 Rpm) Dual HDD, and DUAL 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT card. And a 22 inches screen.
I haven't received this computer yet. I was very happy with my order until today, but since i'm still waiting for this new computer, i read a lot this forum and others, and now i'm a bit confused.
- Is overclocking on warranty, from the BIOS and not from ntune, allowed on 720 systems? I read somewhere that 630s' BIOS were more "advanced" in this regard?
- On french Dell's website (i'm from France), XPS 720 disappeared two days ago, and it only remains XPS 720 H2C. Maybe it means that 730s will arrive in a few days? Should i cancel my order for the 720 and wait for the 730? But in this case, wouldn't the prices be much more expensive for this brand new model? I got a 20% discount for the 720, maybe it was because it was an end-of-life system?
As you can see, i'm really worried... Thanks by advance for your advices.

Another option, if available in France, is go ahead with the 720, and when you get it, play with it and see how you like it. Do you have the 21 day satisfaction guarantee in France? Keep it for 21 days, and use it. If the 730 comes out, research it, and make a decision based on your use of the 720.
The 720 is a great deal right now. Even better deals can be had in the Outlet, if you have that in France.
Thanks for your answers. Well, i don't know what to do... I just received the UPS mail, i will get the computer friday...
About the 21 day satisfaction guarantee, i checked on the Dell website and we have only 8 days in France to send back the computer. And i would be really lucky if the xps 730 was revealed in the same time on the website...
Gosh!
