Jason, Someone posted a new code on slickdeals that works with XP. So I re-ordered the same E520 with XP, going to cancel the vista installed one.

I have been on the phone with dell 3 times today trying to get the OS switched to XP, but they claimed the code I was using would only work with a vista computer.

Sorry you are having problems with your XPSs.

Here is the setup I got:

Dimension E520 Intel® Core™ 2 E6420 Duo Processor(4MB L2 cache,2.13GHZ,1066FSB)
Memory 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard and Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse
Monitor 20 inch E207WFP Widescreen Digital Flat Panel
Video Cards Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3000
Hard Drives 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
CD or DVD Drive 48X CD-RW/ DVD Combo Drive
Sound Cards Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Speakers No speakers (Speakers are required to hear audio from your system)
Warranty and Service 1Yr In-Home Service, Parts + Labor - Next Business Day*
XP
TOTAL:$719.00+tax

I will sell the LCD on ebay since I already have a samsung 21"

So I should be into the box for $550. Plus I ordered 2x1gb of ram and a dvd burner. both will be $115.

Memory is really cheap now.
