Question 1

Does this include 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

Mine came with 64 bit Windows 7. Only had one thing not work as advertised: the PS2 keyboard port on the back. I could not use my old keyboard that has brighter letters. Otherwise, the CPU performance is comperable to several i5 processor benchmarks and the video performance is ok for Hulu, NetFlix...etc.

Question 2

Is the video card integrated into the motherboard or a separate, removable card?  I wish to upgrade the video card in the future.  Is that practical?

Accepted Answer

The video card is integrated into the motherboard on this computer.

I can't see any reason why you would not be able to add a video card in the future. It has the PCI-Express 16x slot for a video card.

Some video cards may require a power supply with more wattage than the one that comes with this PC. Just check the video card specs. before you purchase.

Good Luck!

Question 3

Is there a port to add a graphics card? One of the reviewers said no.

Accepted Answer

Hi Larry,
I have actually purchased 2 of these computers for friends who had purchased new computers without consulting me first. They are both Extremely Happy with my choice for them.

1 x PCI 
1 x PCI-e x 1 
2 x PCI-e x 16 slots (blue at x16mode, black at x4mode) 
 
   This is a list of the available add-on slots and I would suggest that before you jump into another graphics card or dual set-up you give what it comes with a try.  A great home computer and plenty fast but if you are trying to make it a gaming speed demon you need to upgrade into the to cpu/apu and max out the memory.
   Hope this helps. anything you would like to ask about feel free to reply

Question 4

Hello, I understand this may not be great for the latest 3D first person shooter games, but this would definitely suffice for Minecraft, wouldn't it? That is mainly what my kids are interested in, and I will mainly be using it for charting software for trading forex, etc.
Thank you!

Accepted Answer

I bought this just over two months ago and am thrilled with it!  A huge upgrade for me but since I'm not a gamer at all (more of a web surfer and photoshopper) I can't really say how well it would perform with games.  I'd suspect  what they call a "gaming computer' would be best?  Sorry I can't be of more help.
Maybe find a Minecraft or 3D game forum and ask there?

Question 5

Where is the monitor? Are they offered separately?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not come with a monitor.  Most desktop computers (the vast majority, actually) do not come with monitors.  This allows you to buy the monitor of your choice, or to use your current monitor if you decide it's good enough.  And if a monitor were bundled with it, it might not be good enough for your purposes, or it might be overkill, and, either way, you would pay for it in the "bundled" price, whether you wanted it or not.  So if you also want a monitor, look around, and pick the best one for your needs.

Question 6

Does this unit come with a Wifi card to use the internet??

Accepted Answer

No. It does not have a WIFI card from the factory but it is easy to add a PCI or USB WIFI card and there are many here on Newegg in a wide range of prices starting at under $10.00. Just search "802.11 USB" or "802.11 PCI" on the Newegg website.

Question 7

This still come with Windows 7? I hear a lot of complaining about Windows 8. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

I got mine with windows 7 home, but I also have a windows 8 machine and then downloaded a free ware called "classic shell" which makes windows 8 look and act like windows 7 but still  has the operating system of a windows 8 .Its a great way to go .My asus M11BB is a great machine and thinking back I would try and upgrade to more memory to 16gb .I have 8gb on mine but I don't know if they have the same machine with a 16gb of memory.Its cheaper to go that way with memory instead of buying it separately. 8 gb of memory is great but for the extra few bucks I would have liked 16gb then I would be all set. I would buy a windows 8 machine,but I would have to put the" classic shell" look  on that machine. Windows 8 is very difficuilt to get use to even with the experts using it. youtube has video all about the classic shell program.

Question 8

can you add a second sata hard drive to this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is a 2nd drive shelf, power and a cable in mine.

Question 9

is this windows 7 home premium 32 bit or 64 bit?

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

64-bit. The fastest way to tell that is by checking the memory. Anything higher than 3.74 gigs of ram is 64 bit. Also see Processor Main Features in the Specifications section.

Question 10

3-31-2014  Can not find this on ASUS web site. They sell a M11BB but not with a Quad Core processor. Trying to find the max allowed memory?

Accepted Answer

My best guess would be that the M11BB base model all use the same motherboard. From ASUS site, the M11BB specs show:

Supported DIMM size: from 2 GB Up to 32 GB
Dual Channel, DDR3 at 1600MHz
4 x DIMM (4 DIMM slots)

The won't let us use links, so I hope I don't get in trouble for guiding, but if you go to asus dot com use the following path after the com - /Desktops/M11BB/specifications/ you can see the rest of the options specs
