UPDATE
I called their Sales Phone number at 1(800) 915-3355, option 1, ext. 43784#, BECAUSE my order was cancelled. I gave the guy my order number and after a few minutes of saying nothing, he came back on and said that ALL of these orders will be cancelled, because there was an error with that coupon.
I told him that I know of a few people that theirs went through, and he said that "We got 829 of these orders with this coupon until we cancelled the coupon, and now we are going through and cancelling ALL orders that used this coupon. We have received numerous calls already from customers that used this coupon and wondering why we cancelled their order. The coupon was not suppose to be there."
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If anyone actually gets their's, let us know, so that those of us that got a cancelled order can FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. 🙂

I liked the 8400 deal better anyway. (3.4, 1GB, 160GB, 6800NU, 17" 16ms LCD for ~$900)
But yeah, it's disgusting that when it comes to gaming my A64 3000+ beats it.

I had a feeling they would start canceling orders, these prices are way under the cost of the machine.
actually its possible that its not for dell... no one has any idea the kind of deal intel could be cutting them.
and the rest of the stuff is junk (their case/PSU ect) essentially, the only thing really worth anything in these systems is the video card and CPU.
and they probably get the best cut on that sh1tty intel CPU, cuz if intel lost dell they'd be like "wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttt???" 🙂
intel needs dell more than dell needs intel.
oh well, instead of feeling bad your orders were canceled, just look at charts of a 3000+ A64 keeping up with a 3.4ghz P4. Its a sad sad processor.
What Hell did, or dell my apologies.. is reissued the code for that PC (for a time at least) today, and put a mandatory 3 year service plan and 1 year AV subscription, made the ram mandatory 1gig, the HD mandatory 250gig... basiclly killed the deal, raised the price a ton for nothing essentially.
and they know this. thats why they put that crap on their, its free for them.
so my 3.4ghz p4/6800GTO, instead of being $900 shipped was going to be about $1500/2000 something like that..
at that price, no thanks. I'll build a real computer (Athlon) for less.

Yeah, right. Actually they both need each other. Sure, DELL is basically Intel's OEM, but AMD in their wildest dreams couldn't provide DELL with the volumes nor the general platform stability. Say what you will, but for a very few exceptions over the years, an Intel CPU with an Intel chipset on an Intel mobo could not be beat for stability, which is what 90+ % of DELL's customers want.
do dells customers even know what they want? seriously.. not exactly the educated buyer.
and you dont know if AMD could provide for Dells demand.. i wouldnt doubt they could if they stopped offering them retail and to other OEMs... they'd do that too.
general platform stability? dude. wahtever. walk on.

are you sure its not user error?
please link me to a credible site with information on why and how AMD are not nearly as stable as Intel.
Please. Before I verbally assault someone. This is retarded.
Less wives tales, more documented proof that AMD is "less stable".
I dont know if you are comparing offbrand chipsets by SIS/VIA to Intel chipsets.. but that wouldnt be AMD now would it?
Show me where 33watt @load A64 processors are less stable than their 100watt outputting, throttling Prescott alternatives?

Sure it's AMD.
It's AMD CPU+ the SIS/VIA Chipset based motherboards.
They're not as stable as Intel CPU/Intel Chipset based motherboards.
I've used several AMD systems and they aren't as stable as the Intel counterpart.
it's obvious you are an AMD fanboi. Your response cries fanboi.
It's not like I haven't used AMD before, I have and they were generally less stable.
Blame it on the SIS/VIA chipset motherboards, they are still correlated.
that made a whole lot of sense there.
oh. but there is SIS/VIA chipsets for intel.. so they are still correlated to intel.
find me a modern VIA/SIS/Nforce implementation from teh AMD camp thats anymore problematic than a VIA/SIS chipset from the Intel side.
Now find me one of the big guys who backs you up, like Kyle Bennett, Anand, Dr. Tom Pabst. You just dont know what your doing, thats probably part of the reason you went to dell.
Like I said, show me where AMD CPUs are less reliable than their Intel counterparts.
Do you realize that AMD actually MADE Intel CPUs for them for many years? I have one right here, want a pic? They had them under contract to not go out and start making their own processors until the 90s.
So we know this much, it must not be their manufacturing!!!!
So maybe its the AMD engineering that is at fault within their processor.. because last I knew they were kicking the P4s butt all over the place out of nowhere.. oh without throttling back because they get too hot either.. full speed.
And dont consume 100 watts at load.
Would you like to explain to me what is poorly engineered about the Athlon 64 in comparison to the Prescott? What exactly makes it less reliable per se?
Or maybe its just that you are too cheap to build a quality, reliable system or you dont know how too. Yes it is. Most of the people here have perfectly reliable A64 systems with all chipset brands.
Listen you guys, instead of arguing with you about this.. because its clear you have no idea what you are talking about, let me point you here
http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20041217/index.html
Not bad coming from a website many claim is biased towards intel, huh.
So like I said, besides old VIA chipsets being poor quality.. which has NOTHING to do with AMD's processors.. you are a noob with 17,929 posts. Sad. You need to spend MORE time reading and learning about what the hell you are actually posting about instead of passing off your false information.
Goodbye and nice attempt at passing on unsubstantiated FUD, but your wives tale didnt hold up. The facts are the facts.

Hi all --- I'm a newbie so please forgive me if I'm not posting this rigfht. I just came across another deal that was similar to this. I see that most posts do not have the link showing, but I don't know how to do that just yet ... so, here is the link to the site that has the coupon information ... I also didn't know if I could copy/paste that information directly into this post -- can some one help me out ? 🙂
http://www.techbargains.com/dellcoupons.cfm <-- Scroll down a little way and you'll see the $1,250 of the XPS machine -- note, it is only with the P4 HT Extreme chipset.
Many thanks,
DallasAggie

hey dallas aggie, coupons are not allowed on this forum.
however, over @ FATWALLET.COM coupons ARE allowed and are even posted in the FIRST THREAD so that you don't have to go to OTHER websites to find 'em 😀
Realize however, that sometimes they get their deals from here...(and visa versa too) Anyway, welcome to the forums 😀

Cool Tanner -- Thanks for the information. I'll make sure to not post something like that on here again. I imagine it'll be a while before I lean all the do's and dont's, so please bare with me 🙂
Thanks again.
