Charlatan - I had some big issues with Dell a month or two ago, posted in <a href="http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=85314">this thread</a>. Dell said they replaced the motherboard, I had to disable a bunch of BIOS features and it seems to work a bit better now. I get slowdowns every few minutes that seem to get more frequent as time goes on if I'm playing a game, but generally it's ok. I never found out what process was taking up all the power, or if it was a process at all. I suspect it was something in the BIOS like a conflict with an onboard modem or something, something to do with networking, that caused all the problems.
