The reason that Built-In storage (the ROM leftovers) shows as a Storage Card is that Micro$oft never intended anyone to make ROM available as storage so there is no provision in the operating system to report it. The only storage name options available to Dell were Main Storage and Program Storage in RAM, and any Storage Cards they might provide. So, Dell got creative and called Built-In storage a Storage Card and made it available to us. It's confusing, but at least they made it available. For a low-end machine, I was very pleasantly surprised at that.
