The new Dell notebook with Pentium IV is called Inspiron 8200. It has up to 1GB RAM!! and 64MB NVIDIA GeForce440

> Because I love GNU/Linux so much I definitely will run this notebook under GNU/Linux.
> 
> Unfortunately Dell's notebook only come with Microsoft Software pre-installed.

> Please let me know, if DELL makes it possible for their customer TO CHOOSE their operating system on YOUR hardware.

> Thank you very much for your answer.
