    Dell compatible memory chips?

    In passing, the CPU fans on some of these Dells are shrounded in a plastic trumpet and sound a lot quieter when cleaned of all the encrusting dust and debris, a colleague of mine even lubricates the fan bearings with a very small amount of machine oil (3 in 1 oil) but I am not brave enough to...
