144° is pretty warm but within limits. According to Intel's web site, the max temp is 167. Dell uses an air shroud over the processor so that it blows outside air directly over the processor instead of using air from within the case. You could try that.
Are all fans blowing in the same direction from front to back?
Where was your processor made? I also have a P4 2.8 that seems to be running warmer (stays around 122 regardless of activity) than what other people are reporting. Mine is from Costa Rica.
