Question 1

Does it include a Windows install CD?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no Windows CD included, however you can make backup DVD's s well as a Repair DVD when you first set up the PC.

Question 2

Does this computer actually have 2 ps/2 ports for keyboard and mouse, 1 parallel port for printer and 6 usb 2.0 ports on back, an Ethernet port and 2 usb 2.0 ports on front as I have seen in pictures of this computer on other sites?  Also is there an empty 3.5" drive bay in front? How many empty card slots?
Thanks for the help.

Accepted Answer

I don't know about the PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse.  It uses USB ports for them though. There are 6 USB ports on back and 2 USB ports on front.  Yes, there is an empty slot below the HDD on front left side. I don't use the parallel printer port but it's there.  Everything works great, I recommend it, you really can't beat the price for Win 7-64 bit, 1TB HDD, 2.33GHz speed and 4 GB RAM.  Recommend you Google for "HP DC7800 specs".

Question 3

Bought this computer for some heavy-duty photo and video editing and want to upgrade to a 2GB 128 bit video card that supports a 3 monitor setup, but I'm not sure if I can use either an AMD card or an NVIDIA card because I know some AMD cards provide multi-monitor software, but I don't know if NVIDIA cards to the same?  Help me newegg community!

Honestly I wouldn't think it would work in this machine, it's so old.  I did a Google search and found some intuitive results "Nvidio supports 3 monitors".

Question 4

can i use 2 monitors with this device?

Accepted Answer

There is only one VGA port on the unit I received.  To use two monitors, you would probably need to install a second graphics card, and since it's a small-form-factor case, you'll need a low-profile type of internal card or an external USB-to-VGA (or DVI) graphics adapter.
