We buy batches of 15-30 computers at a time. Several batches have been problematical. The last two batches have had failing memory problems. Of the two batches I have in mind, 11 of 18 had to have their memory replaced anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 months of starting up. That batch is less than 6 months old. The second batch has only had 3 memory failures I'm aware of. Of course, it's only 2 months old... To a lesser extent we've had failed mobos and failed hard drives. Frankly, if I were making the purchasing decisions, I'd put a stop to all Dell orders two years ago. That's when quality problems in Dell became noticable problems here.
