Just got off the phone with Dell.  The CPxH 500GT has been certified to
run RH 6.1  The only difference between that and the 650 is that the 650
has a specialized processor which uses something called Speedstep
technology that enables it to run at 650 when it's running off of ac
power.  Anyone know anything about this Speedstep?

I guess I'll get the 500 and not worry about dealing with the Speedstep
stuff, although it'd be nice to have the extra 150 mhz as I will be
using this thing on the desktop quite a bit.
