Which Dell units were set up like this?  The one we have at home and all of 
the ones in the offices of the attorneys where I have helped to set up are NOT 
like that.  They have separate video cards, USB yes but about all I use that 
for is sometimes a mouse or downloading from a digital camera,etc., we use 
networking for most all other applications such as printers, copier 
interconnectivity, scanners, etc.

I actually do build most of the PCs I use in my business but when it comes to 
offices I have found Dell to work just fine, even for servers.

Just my experience with them.
