Yeah, saw crucial says DDR for 700 and DDR2 for 6000, but also noted it only says upto 400Mhz DDR2 for the 6000. Guessing that's because the std 6000 config comes with 400MHz FSB, because otherwise the $50 upgrade to 533MHz is pointless. Wondering though about the backward compatibility of DDR2 and inter-operability with DDR. Regarding the coupon, it does stack, but hoping someone says it worked for them with a non-Discover card.

Thanks for the info! New question: 3. The 6000 comes with DDR2 and the 700M carries DDR. Checked crucial and it says 200pin SODIMM for both laptops. Thinking of getting a 6000 and a 700 .. will the 256M DDR2 from the 6000 work in the 700 alongside the 256 DDR? PS: Just saw a new coupon code on another forum - $50 off $999+ coupon code "ZMLBMJ0SB4FTFM" (may require Discover Card payment)

Me looking for the 6000D too. Here's what I have in mind - M740/WSXGA+/512M(1DIMM)/40G/DVDRW/b+g+bluetooth/ATI-X300-64 with the 90day warranty when they really make it 'Fully Customizable'. Two questions: 1. Any thoughts on when the $750 off 1500 will be back .. have been waiting for it for the past couple of weeks. The above config weighs in at over 1500, but below 1850 where the 40% off coupon from two weeks ago makes sense. 2. Any best practices on the memory? Dell obviously has it over-priced and I am in two minds over taking 256M, chucking it and purchasing 1G (1 or 2DIMMS) OR to get 512 1DIMM and then only buy another 512 DIMM. What DDR2 do they put in there? I'm planning to get the 533MHz FSB processor, but does the laptop come with 533MHz RAM when you buy it from Dell?
