Went looking at what PSU this might have, because the Intel HD Graphics 2000 is marginally adequate. They say it can be optioned with either HD 7570 or GTX620 discrete graphics, but wow can't find a PSU rating anywhere. One place said up to 280W which would be probably passable if you had orderit with either of those optional discrete cards, but I’d be surprise if this has a 220W. You might get lucky and someone might say in a YouTube video.

This document say's a H520s can have “Optional dual graphics support – Nvidia SLI, up to dualGTX660 2Gb or ATI CrossFireX, up to dual AMD HD 7750 2GB graphics”?

Id be very suprised if this does not support dual graphics as its basically the norm today. I have a 6 year old el cheapo Dell Optiplex that supports dual graphics. While this has the basic integrated graphics it does have a VGA and HDMI connection. I ordered this to replace the tired dell optiplex and considering the folks at the office have Lenovos that are one level down from the 520 and all are running dual monitors i would suspect this one will be able to as well, just might not be the best for gaming unless one does upgrade to a stand alone graphics card.
