    It also includes a 740QM since thats how they advertise it on the alienware.com homepage as Detailed Specs:

    Just keep calling until you find a rep who will honor it. Just keep telling them its false advertisement and complaining.

    Heres the deal I just got:

    Been talking to several reps and I can't get the 740. I might just order one with the I5 since I'm considering replacing it with the 920. But with the 740, I might not have to replace the CPU.

    If anyone knows a rep that can give me the price send him/her my way. Thanks :)
