FWIW, I had to purchase 6 computers for work. I talked to a local IT company who suggested Dell earlier this year. We purchased 6 Dimension 3000's. Dell just came in and replaced all 6 cooling fans and processors (P4's) because the machines were acting real slow. Granted this was on a network but the network was just converted to CAT 6e. The tech that came out said he's been replacing the processors on many of these machines. Not sure if it is a Dell problem or an Intel problem. Good part was they were there the next day and seem to work fine now!
