Dimension 4700 onboard video is dual-head?

While looking at a new Dimension 4700, we discovered that the video
properties talk about two separate monitors on the "Intel
82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family" adapter.

The device manager shows two such devices, one with two Plug and Play
Monitors, the other with one, which is strange, as there's only one
monitor connected to the machine.

Am I missing a connector somewhere, or is this just misconfigured?

Thanks!

 

If the 4700 has a video card with a standard VGA and a digital DVI
connector, it is capable of running two displays at the same time.

 

Nope, it's the built-in video, and only has one connector on the back
of the machine.

 

It's possible the chipset is dual-head capable and Dell just cut
corners by not including the 2nd connector.

Another possibility is that the drivers and chipset allow for the
addition of a PCI-E graphics card, at which point you'll have
dual-head capabilities. (I think this is more likely.)

 

There's not an s-video port, is there?

 

No, I poked around quite a bit, and there aren't any spare connectors
inside or outside, nor are there pads where one might be soldered. I
was hoping someone else with the same machine would be able to tell me
if they are all like that...

Thanks!

 

Well, there is a PCIE card slot (and another PCIE 1x slot furthest
from the CPU), but wouldn't that just add a separate graphics card?

 

i sold about 10 4700's in the past 3 mos,
and always saw just a single headed vga connector and just deployed it
like that. its quick enough for most general business use.

one time someone wanted a better video card for it, and i sold them a
chaintec pci 128mb card for about $70 and it performed extremely well. i
got it at newegg. it was dual headed, but the user only wanted faster,
not dual.
hope this is helpful.

 

PCI or PCIe? The 4700 supports PCIe, doesn't it?

 

Both, actually. It's got a couple of PCI slots and one long (16X?)
PCIE slot and one short (1X) PCIE slot.

This one came with an upgraded sound card in one PCI slot, we dropped
an ATI All-In-Wonder PCI card in the other slot, and we were full!

 

yes it was the longer pcie slot
