How dare Dell take such liberties with their rounding off of processor
speeds.
Off with their heads ;-)
You raise a good point about the 2740 Acer. Unlike the other dICE
scanners (which have an Infrared channel) which do the IR scan at the
same time as the color scans, Acer requires a separate IR scan. It does
seem a bit unnecessary to do 16 IR scans, one would think.
