I have to agree with d4in about Dell and proprietary parts, but first, let me get a beer. Ok, that's better. The service manager at work ordered a Dell for his work computer. The Creative Audigy sound card died. Dell was easy enough to deal with and sent him a new sound card. He installed it and went to Creative's web site to get the driver. Long story made short, he had to get the driver from Dell's web site. Also, the Geforce 4200 vid card was badged as Dell. But hey, I'm sure Dell is fine. But I will never buy from any of them. I make my own, thanks.
