Congrats on the order. One recommendation would be to upgrade the RAM (now or later) after market for cheaper. That way, you have atleast 1GB to go along with the machine. But I see you ordered it with 512MB (2 DIMMS), leaving no empty slot. You could call now that your order is placed and ask them to upgrade kindly to 1 DIMM or if you can, pay to have it upgraded in order to have the free slot.
1GB+ = Ultimate performance.

fyi, dell will be updating the 9300 in january, but the price will be high so that deal is much better than what you would be able to get then.
Answer:
Re: Just ordered a 9300
What components will be updated? (A rough idea).
And is the 9300 the only machine to be updated? Or are all? Something to do with new line of processors?

NO! Leave it at what you have, True you could get more memory, but the Memory Bandwidth you'd get with the 2x256 because its in dual channel would be far more benefical. Only do the upgrade to 1 DIMM if your planning on buying another 512 stick right away, remember that it needs to be the SAME MODEL memory, otherwise Dual Channel WILL not work.

new dual core processor (Intel NAPA), true life screen (glossy), nvidia geforce go 7 series, express card slot (no pcmcia, just express card -- kinda blows). unfortunately still the same silly white bumper look. initially it will just be the 9300 updated for jan., no others.

Re: Just ordered a 9300
I see. I still don't know the scoop on dual core processors. When will the processors (and machines) used now be titled 'officially out of date'?
Worth the wait or okay to buy now (and use for a good 3 - 4 years)

Re: Just ordered a 9300
O crap... I could waited til January and i just ordered! No!!! Any mention of initial pricing?
And gains from dual channel is not worth the free slot. Dual core is interesting tech!
