Not a whole lot... something like...
6x Precision Workstations
4x DL800 Laptops
1x DL600 Laptop
1x PE4600

None.

_Lots_ (Seriously).
Depends on things, weather they have what we want to buy,
if so, how much does it cost.

Can't say I've really noticed a problem...
Except that the latest BIOS on the Optiplex GX 270 breaks X, which was
