Dell XPS 700 To Come With Core 2 Duo Processor, But…
Remember the delayed XPS 700 gaming powerhouse that Dell said it would start shipping very soon? Well, it seems there might be further delays, and Dell is trying to mitigate the negative impact from this by pledging a free Core 2 Duo processor upgrade for those who ordered on or before 18 July.
Customers who accept Dell’s upgrade offer will also have to agree to an “extended wait time” – presumably for stock of Intel’s upcoming Core 2 Duo to come in.
