Question 2

Can I add a wireless card? What kind do I need to purchase?

Yes. There is room in the chassis for 2 expansion cards. Get a PCI based wireless adapter card. But I think this easiest thing to do is get a wireless USB adapter. That's what I did.

Does this have a PCI Express (PCIe) card slot? THANKS!

Question 5

Where can I get a legit reboot disc for this computer or who do I contact for this problem ?

Accepted Answer

If the computer is still working as purchased, you can make a backup copy of the operating system using many different kinds of backup software including the Windows 7 on the computer. The important thing is the product key on the label attached to the computer by the people who refurbished the computer. If you want a new out of the box installation disk, you will have to purchase it, but you are allowed to make a legal backup copy of the installed Windows 7 and reinstall it as needed on this computer.

Question 7

Hello,I was wondering does this have a PCI X!6 for upgrading video,and if it does what class 2.0-2.1 or 3.0 ?

There is 1 PCI-e 16-x slot for video and a couple of PCI-e 1-x slots for things like TV-cards. Look up the respective Intel chipset to see which generation it is, considering that the computer was built in 2008.
