System report incorrect

[Rodney Chelius]

I have a Dell Dimension 8300, running Windows XP Pro
(OEM) SP1. In control panel when double clicking the
SYSTEM icon, it reports {Dell OPTIPLEX 8300} vs {Dell
Dimension 8300}. I have querried Dell support about this
but the support personnel are unable to understand
English well enough to grasp the concept of my question.
They just kept reading their book of instructions and
repeatedly assured me that this is a Dimension computer.
I was trying to inform them of the glitch so maybe
someone would right a fix for it in the next service
pack. Or is my computer the only Dimension that manifests
the error? Is this a Dell glitch or Windows XP glitch?

Have no clue. Those statements are derived from here in the oeminfo.ini
located in the System32 folder:

Kelly,

I edited OPTIPLEX to read Dimension. The information
reported by the SYSTEM icon in control panel now
reads 'Dell Dimension 8300'. I know this is a petty
glitch but things like this drive me NUTS! Thank you for
helping with this minor topic.
