Question 1

Does it have pci slots? I need to put a wireless adapter in it.

Accepted Answer

If I remember right, it has a pci-e x16 slot and all pci-e x2 slots but no PCI slots. I bought this computer for a friend and installed a MSI twin frozr gtx 650 graphics card in it with a new hx 650 corsair PSU. If you want to put a wireless card in it you shouldn't have a problem they make plenty of pci-e x2 wireless cards.

Question 2

I'd like to know if there is any way I could upgrade this machine with a graphics card. I bought this PC when it was on sale on Black Friday and it has a graphics card slot and a 280 Watt PSU. I understand that it's a very tiny PSU. Are there any low end graphics card which would be compatible with this machine?

Take a look at the Lenovo forums and search for 57315552.  It gives some pretty good information as well as other threads to discuss the alternatives.  At the Lenovo forums. I got this information (have not tried it yet) someone used the ASUS GTX650 but it was not recognized. This recommendation is what it took to get it to work and they were happy with the results.  It did not say they upped the PSU.

First try going inside the BIOS utility Settings
   Tapping F1 once you hit the power ON should do it.
- Go to the Devices Tab and select Video Set up hit Enter and Make sure it is on Auto.
- Under the Start up TAB Change the CSM to Enabled
- If you see a secure boot option Disable That.

Question 3

Can I get this with Windows 7 - 64bit?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 4

I have a dual monitor set up right now, how many video ports are there in the back? Is it only hdmi or are there dv-i?

Accepted Answer

Hi Barbara,

I just converted mine from DV-i to HDMI so it definitely has both ports.  It should have no problem being able to handle a dual monitor.
