Piece of CRAP
So this Systemax computer has a dual display… or so I thought — as did the fool that sold it to me who assured me it would do dual-monitor support out of the box. Take a look at the back of the machine (from the installation guide):
See… Two video ports. Both are labelled. One is called the “integrated video”, and the other is called the “AGP video”. Great! So they shipped it with two display cards! Oh wait, let's read the fine print:
Yes, that really does say “
Video will be inoperable if you plug into the Integrated Video Port“. Other than the “quick start” guide, the integrated video is mentioned no where, and no other documentation whatsoever includes it. Thanks for nothing I guess.
I actually do
need dual monitor support; without it I can't work effectively. So let's hope I have an old crapper of a PCI card (like the above) that'll work. I don't need it for anything but text editing, so it should be fine. I hope…
