Good idea but I don't think it is a solution.  Here is what I have done:

Grabbing a volt meter, I checked the voltages on the three pin connector
on the motherboard.  One is ground (black wire), one is +12v (middle red
wire) and the other was ground(?) (yellow wire).  I then checked the other
motherboard where the "dead" fan works.  It has +9v on the yellow wire
pin.

I have not bothered to research why the fan uses +12 and +9 volts.  I've
spent enough time dinking around with it.  Time to get a new motherboard
(with a faster CPU!)
