Are the Pentium M's as good as the P4's for gaming? I thought the benchmarks weren't as good.

Just remembered... i think the money back policy of dell is for a lesser time if you buy refurb.
Just argue with them and convince them to let you change your model.

I called them today, and after waiting on hold for a while, they said that I needed to talk to the "Customer Intentions" department. I hope I can get in touch with them before they ship the replacement.
Millennium, what is DNT?

Refurbs are always YMMV. Definitely don't buy them unless you're familiar with the equipment and willing to deal with the potential issues. And definitely use Dell's online tools to research the service history on the machine!
I've personally purchased an Inspiron 8000 without any problems and countless Optiplexes for work without any issues. Dell gives you 30 days to return refurb items, which is plenty of time to uncover and iron out any issues. You should format and reinstall as soon as receiving the refurb system.

1) I've bought over $150,000 in three years @ Dell refurb. Only issues I've ever had were with some inspirion 4000's that had known issues. Replaced the mainboard once and they were good to go. I have utmost faith in their refurb equipment.
2) Only refurb servers and storage have 30 retun policies. Everything else is 14 days.

UDT89,
Is Amex aware that you purchased a Dell REFURB?
If they are, do they treat it like any other new retail purchase?
