No mate, the fans minimum RPM is 1500, the maximum is 3500

that means a pwm range of 1500-3500 rpm +-10% probably

Actually, with their fans, that switch is a speed range for the maximum, depending on PWM needs to fight heat..

I have a lot of trouble with dust in my PC room due to pets, so I'd be interested in trying these. The pressure rating looks good on these too. I'm set for a while with Noctua's I put in not long ago, but I'll probably give these a try sometime.

This is just to keep the blades from dust build up due to lack/lazyness of maintaining them clean. The dust that gets through your case air filters will stay inside. A filter on the fan from the inside (fan exhaust airflow) might be more useful to minimize the dust continuing to the components.

Actually, with their fans, that switch is a speed range for the maximum, depending on PWM needs to fight heat..

and that switch, changes the PWM ranges from:
Performance Mode (1500~2200RPM)
Overclocking Mode (1500~2800RPM)
Turbo Mode (1500~3500RPM)
Which means the lowest RPM it does is 1500 rpm, and highest is 3500 rpm
Are we not reading the same article here?

No, he's right. You do have a switch (APS), but the low is quite high here. At 1500 RPM, it certainly won't be quiet.
