Dell Computer has given away free memory, hard-drive capacity and optical drive upgrades to entice customers. Now some buyers are getting free megahertz.
The Austin, Texas-based computer giant is not charging for most processor upgrades on its Latitude notebooks, which are geared toward businesses. A Latitude C840 with a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 processor and 256MB of memory, for instance, costs $2,297--but a similarly configured C840 with a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 or a 2GHz Pentium 4 can be had for the same price.
