I just took receipt of my new Dell Inspiron 9100 notebook. It has a 2.8Ghz CPU. In bios it said that the cpu has 1024KB cache- initially I did not pay too much attention to that, but then I found out that this puppy can crunch two seti units in 2:24, which rivals my precott 3.0 system. I then reviewed the Intel specs and indeed there is no 2.8GHz noteboook processor listed - in fact the only processor with 2.8GHz and 1MB RAM is the prescott 2.8E. Well I then downloaded the intel processor spec utility - and lo and behold it identifies the processor as a 2.8E with 1MB cache.
The system is stable and seemingly fast (with 1GB of ram) but it gets loud when crunching and the battery life is only about 1:40. Not sure if want to keep it as it's also big as a tank but I may have a genuine oddball system at my hands here.
Has anyone else here received such a system?
