Questionthe video card is good for playing games like cod or btf4 etc?the rest of the pc convince me, I have only doubt the video card :s
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I would not recommend this computer for that sort of usage. The "video card" in this product is integrated which means it's part of the processor. The AMD a10 6700 is an APU, it doesn't actually have a dedicated graphics card. I would recommend something higher end for FPS games, they're typically more taxing on your system. Check out the recommended system settings of whatever games you're going to be playing, and go from there. If a computer has ATI graphics or Nvidia graphics then it will typically come loaded with a dedicated card.

QuestionTwo Moniters...Can this Tower handle two monitors? I am looking for a cheap tower for editing and maybe in the future gaming and i want to hook up two monitors. Is that possible?
Asked 11 years ago by WearyCrow.
- Answer This product would definitely support two monitors. It has analog, and digital outputs in the back. You could use, HDMI to HDMI, DVI-D to HDMI, DVI-D to DVI-D, or VGA to VGA keeping your analog to analog, and digital to digital.

QuestionWhat Motherboard is in this PC?I'm wondering what motherboard this computer has. I've done a number of searches and can't come up with anything. Asus Essentio M11BB-B07: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-essentio-desktop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/3026531.p?id=1219086171062&skuId=3026531#tab=overview

- Answer Hard to say, I don't think ASUS releases that information. It's probably a standard FM2/FM2+ motherboard (since it has an A10 in it) from ASUS. You'll have to open it up to find out, it would probably support standard ATX compliant devices as well.. i.e. SATA 2/3, PCIe x16, and RAM speeds up to 1600mHz. I believe the DIMM's are rated for 32g's but that would be ridiculous, 8g would be more than enough.

QuestionAnother wireless questionIt says that this computer has wireless, but then in the Question & Answers, an ASUS employee says that wireless connection is not available... A little confused here, am I going to have to buy anything extra or use a cord to get internet?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer •Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11ac) •Bluetooth 4.0 interface Your good to go. Buy a Cat6 or Cat5e cord to connect as a wired connection if you're looking to game and have a gigabit modem/router. There's nothing to buy extra for wifi connection and can broadcast via the blue tooth, PCi-e adapter card. There's a ton of conflicting info on this PC, btw. The above statements are experience based for the m11bb-bo7 pc from best buy with the a10-6700 quad core apu, 8gigs ddr 1600 ram, 1 tb HDD. (the description says max 12 gigs of ram but i'm running 16 gigs atm... i know right, if you look at the mother board you'll gasp also, buyer beware, you'll know why opening the case voids the warranty, lol)

QuestionCan the amd r9 290x or the msi r9 280x work with this computerI have an 800w power supply ready soooo yeah and i know this will void the warranty
Asked 10 years ago by PCGUY.
- Answer it should work, and can be ran duel with the on board if you enable duel graphics in the bios... but, the limited ram and space inside coupled with the apu strength makes me want to say build something with more options. I've got an EVGA geforce gtx 750ti in one of these and another stick of ram increasing it to 16 gigs and buyers remorse. I was to hasty and now wish i'd have purchased a current motherboard amd processer bundle and built off of it, maybe one of the 8 core cpu's or even an A10-6700k (the apu's with the K have decent overclocking options but, I hadn't found the APU's as the solid choice for gaming) Good Luck, PS look at the mb if you open it up and see if you can tell where another pci slot or 2 more sata ports should be... yikes right?)

Questionmotherboard specswhat model motherboard does it have i know its an amd a55. that only tells me the chip set also i kno it takes ddr3 ram but at what frequency does it top out at like if i want to but in a 2400mhz ram in it is it worth it i have had this comp for 3 or 4 months now an i love it but i want to upgrade it a lil bit
Asked 10 years ago by josh.
- Answer mother board is f2a55-m/m11bb/DP_MB, good luck finding specs on it. the chipset is A55 FCH. 1866 is the limit of ram frequency (ddr3) and 16 gigs is all I can confirm it can be expanded too. 12 gigs listed on some specs is flat out wrong or maybe the limit on an older bios (current looks to be v 0403) The motherboard isn't sold by itself, it seems. Look close and you'll find some places that seem like it's missing components. (ie Pci/Pci-e slot, 2 sata ports, whatever goes above the GPU Boost text near the top, etc.) I think you'll find disappointment when looking to upgrade. Save and build a solid MB/CPU with a decent power supply and case with space to expand, is my advice. This PC has less options to expand than I'd have ever imagined or have had on past machines. It looks like 8-10 months of use of mine is all it's going to get. Current games find it lacking and GPU's worth adding in reguire more power. Mine is pushing the 12v rail of this 300w psu even though my card requires 400w with 20 amps to the 12v rail. Feels like a craps shoot with every day of hard gaming. Good luck
