As in Armada M700s with 3 different BIOS', not revisions of the BIOS. Different chipsets on the NIC. Different video chipsets. If you're buying one or two - not a problem... when your company is buying 1000+, it's a support nightmare... :) It wouldn't be as much of a problem if we were told about it. But if you can live with this they're fairly good computers. Although I think I'd prefer to go with a Dell.
