waggie: you are correct. I also contacted Dell and my understanding is that what I'd like to do is very difficult if not impossible with the 2300. I'm also going to contact Matrox and see if their tech support knows any better, otherwise I'll just let my kids use the 2300 and get another Dell with the right video card. Michael: Thanks for the offer, but looks like I can't use this card right now. Appreciate the responses from all.
