<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I would consider looking at systems from places like CDW-G or NeweggBusiness as well, especially if you only really need VGA quality for your output.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">VGA quality dual monitor support has been around for years on even relatively low end computers. Also, by a similar vein, if you had to go with Dell or something with only one
output, you could buy just about any pci-e video card that has 2 outputs on it and it should easily support dual monitor at an acceptable resolution. That seems really unnecessary considering how many motherboards support the Intel on chip graphics with 2
or more monitors. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

10, but we downgraded to Windows 7 when we initially got them earlier this year. We’ve since moved up to Windows 10, and these machines run both OSes fine.
