Dell Notebooks Have Faulty Memory

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Dell Computer is warning the owners of as many as 400,000 notebook computers that their machines may contain defective memory chips. The problem -- involving Latitude and Inspiron computers shipped between Feb. 1 and Nov. 20, 1999 -- was discovered after Dell got a string of customer reports of computers freezing up and losing or damaging data. The computer maker said it will ship new memory chips overnight, or owners can send their notebooks back for a free memory replacement.
