The Office of the Provost is working with all units that report through them to subsidize upgrading office and lab computers that don't meet minimum standards.
Minimum requirements are defined as below a Pentium 1.0 GHz or a Mac G4.
As part of the replacement initiative, OIT has worked with Dell to negotiate special volume pricing so computers can be purchased at far less than regular prices.
OIT is encouraging any department that plans to buy computers at the end of this fiscal year or the beginning of the next to contact Mike Carlin, OIT's Director of Infrastructure and Support, and arrange for all orders to be part of the discount package.
Orders are scheduled to be placed June 12. Complete details about minumum requirements can be found on the replacement website.
