Needless to say, I'm up to 5 computers now. 1 Emachine, 3 Compaqs, and a HP. |
EMachine T1400:
hard drive spins at a wopping 5400rpm, the fans are Loud as hell, and tech support is reputed to be shit (as most company's today.)
Its excellent processor performance is because of the poor performance of the built-in graphics card.
Expandability is limited. The T1400 has two SIMM slots, and both are in use. There's really no place to add additional internal drives. It does have three PCI slots, though the Ethernet card takes one of them and it doesn't use AGP. Quote:

Now i see why it preformed so well for you. you probably weren't using it for anything else but typing up word documents.
I' came to this conclusion when you said you had 512mb of ram and seemed to think it was a good thing. Quote:

| Whats a floppy drive?
OH! one of those....yeah ive got one of those.
I use it to keep my chair level. |
