No they don't, or if they do, you can still buy it on the open market. If a
sales rep. told you that they are feeding you a line of BS. They try to
confuse you with all that, "168-pin, 5ns, CAS 2, ECC, non-buffered" stuff. I
have a brand new Dell 6350 and I found RAM for it from several vendors. If
the RAM vendor is worth a damn they will have a database of common machine
models and their RAM types as well as the ability to decipher the codes on a
chip and tell you exactly what it is. That said, I have found that Dell is
much more reasonable on RAM upgrades than they used to be. I would only save
around $200 on 2GB of RAM if I bought it from a RAM vendor vs. from Dell. In
the past you would save more than that on just one 128MB DIMM.
