Is it just me, or has nobody else complained about this problem? I'm
new to Dell, having been used to purchasing components instead, and
i'm somewhat disappointed that my purchase of a second graphics card
has led to the on-board one to become disabled (I want dual-monitor
support without paying for a dual-card).

I think it's ridiculous that Dell should block me from using the on-
board card just because I gave them more money to purchase a second
card and a second monitor. It doesn't help that nobody at Dell cared
to notice my order included two monitors but they didn't scratch their
head over how I could use them together on my system.

Anyone else have similar complaints?

Yes, I ordered 11 external hard drives for my system, and my E510
only had 8 USB ports. What were they thinking, how could they have
sold me those extra 3 more external hard drives than could fit into
the ports? I had to go out and buy a USB hub. Damn you Dell !!!!!!!


Not really a good analogy. It's a reasonable expectation to use a video
card and integrated video at the same time. Even the Dimension 2400
could do it.
