One of the nice things about a video card is that you can always swap
it out for something better.

I was wondering about that, mainly that if I had gone with the
integrated video whether I could have added dedicated video later.

I doubt that I'll need more than the dedicated video that I added. I
do run some pretty big monitors (2405FPW and 2001FP) so having good
dedicated video may have some advantages for that.

In any case, I can sleep a little easier not having to wonder if I
should have gotten it, and that I will have essentially more RAM for
applications and the system.
