So we had this customer that asked us to price match this system...needless to say, things are a little shady at the Dell camp. If you dont know whats going on here..the CPU thats listed in there - along with the motherboard...is about $2000 in parts (see below)..pretty extreme deal. Too bad we called them..and they wont honor it...period. No matter how much of a fit we throw..

NEW IntelŪ PentiumŪ D 840 Extreme Edition Dual Core Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology (3.20GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB cache). Processor is user-overclockable in BIOS to 3.40GHz and 3.60GHz.

IntelŪ 955X Express chipset

What do they say?

They say...its the fastest computer we make..and they are sorry about the confusion their website caused. Because of this "incident" they put in a ticket for it..
