Mike, seeing as you have now had trouble with two different makes of
video capture cards, and have mentioned difficulties in getting a
network card wrorking, perhaps you could try persuading Dell to swap out
the motherboard as the machine is under warranty.  

I think you will need to be *very* persusasive with the warranty
teechnician (or *gasp*) deliberately sabotage the machine so that they
have no choice but to replace the (now dead) board.  Not that I could
ever recommend such a course of action, you understand, but some of
these makers (in particular Dell and GatewayToHell2000) just will not
co-operate otherwise.
