Dimension XPS Gen 3 or not?
Yesterday I went all out and (thought I) ordered the Dimension XPS Gen-3 system. Somewhere along the line as I was checking out the various options, the term"Gen-3" dropped from the title...I dont remember when exactly. The only changes I made to the config was to add a larger monitor and a sound system. When I checked my order it seems like it varies slightly from what the original Gen-3 description stated. I,E. I have a default processor speed of 3.4 Mghz, the Gen-3 on the web site says 3.6 as a default. Also the tech specs say I have an AGP 8x port in the XPS yet the Gen-3 is supposed to have a PCIe 16x. Did I order a different Dimension XPS system by accident or do they just build the XPS to whatever specs they are using at the time? I am just a little confussed as to what I ordered and what I am getting. Even if for some reason I didn't ordert the Gen-3 I still have to wait almost 2 weeks for delivery. Did anyone else run into this?

The XPS and the XPS Gen-3 were out at the same time, both were available. It was the same way with the 8300 and the newer 8400. To put it simply, if you've got AGPx8, you've got the original XPS, and not the Gen 3. If it hasn't shipped yet, cancel your order and replace it.
