The 7010s look largely identical to the 790s. Both the current and new
versions of Debathena install correctly. I haven't fully put the graphics
card through its paces, but we don't really have any other options this
late in the game, so I think we might as well just go with them.
I'll note that these ship with displayport->DVI adapters, and also
DVI->VGA adapters, and that the video card has both connectors. To take
advantage of the good graphics as much as possible, I think we want to use
the displayport adapter and DVI cables to the monitor. Do we still have
all the DVI cables that came with the monitors originally?
Regarldess, this means the Dell Y-cables are no longer used, so we should
pull those when deploying the 7010s, but still keep a stock of them around
for replacing old ones.
