Yes, I
AM defending eMachine. It's all about using the right tool for the right job.
I'm not sure what eMachine the OP has, but I bought w3115 eMachine for #2 son when he went to UC (Cincinncti), and it's serving him quite well. It does have integrated video, but it also has a PCIe x16 slot if he really wants to upgrade, and will support 2gig of RAM as well. I'll also note that everything in it is INDUSTRY STANDARD...no propritary bullshit like Dell and others, It's easily upgradable.
I'll bet that 99% of the people on enthusiast sites like this that dump on eMachine have really had no experience with them, and just parrot what 'everyone knows'.
Just like in real life. A 12" pecker is a good thing if you are in the pr0n industry, but whip that sucker out on an average lady, and she will take one look at it and say "You aren't stickin
that in ME!"
