x64 Upgrade (Dell Customers)

If you have a Dell Precision 470, 670, 380 or a select 370 workstation with a
factory installed 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional, you
should be utilizing Dell's upgrade form rather than Microsoft's. If you have
already mistakenly applied for an upgrade using Microsoft's form, I recommend
you do not submit another upgrade request unless told otherwise, as this may
just create additional and unnecessary workload.

Shipping and handling is $40!? That seems rather expensive.

Hi James,

I agree, this is a somewhat high number especially for us used to FedEx but
I believe if you look at the whole picture, you just bought a copy of Windows
XP x64 for $40 - Good deal, in my opinion.

Now, if they would own up to the needs of their Athlon64 laptop owners (and
Compaq also) they'd be on to something...

I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with a Retail Upgrade Copy of 32 Bit Windows Xp
Professional Edition (the computer originally came with Windows Xp Home
Edition). Since I have a Retail Copy of Professional Edition and since Dell
does not cover my 8400 under their program, I assume that the Microsoft
Website was the correct place to order my Upgrade from, correct?

If Dell makes either Athlon or Compaq systems, I'm not aware of it...
