$1700 later..

anything nvidia

Word. For a good card at a reasonable price you could pick up a 6800GT 256mb.

Awesome. Sounds good.

I know I’ve talked a few people that I know that don’t know much about computers that saw an eMachine and said “Wow, that’s a great deal!”. All I had to say to them was “Trust me. I know you won’t be using the computer for a hell of alot other than e-mails homework and maybe music or something. Maybe a simple game or two… but you’d be buying an accident waiting to happen when you get an eMachine.”

They ended up getting something else and haven’t had a single problem.

i dont want to spend to much on a card probably $200 would be my limit. also im new to this dual core stuff so how do u get the most out of it?

didn’t read specs of computer just read gateway

:sigh:

He means the 6800GS, basically a faster (overclocked) 6800GT. The latter doesn’t exist anymore, at least on the mainstream market.

Good to know. Thanks.

This is the card I picked up recently,I love it.I couldnt go wrong for the price.

Benchmarks on tomshardware.com speak for themselves.

Thats the card I was going to recommend. For that price, you get a great card… 256-bit, 256MB, PCI-E and its amazing.

I’ve put it into a few computers, and it even looks like the price went down!

:slight_smile:

Of course, after spending 1700 on a computer… play with it before deciding you need an upgrade.

Nah, it was basically a typo, for whatever reason i read it wrong, and then misinterpreted it.

PCI-E > AGP

my sister has one of thoes emachines and i use to always do stuff on it that my laptop could not do i never had a problem with it or anything. even played half life 2 on it. i think if u take care of any computer it can be fine except for compaq i hate them my family bought one and then returned it a few days later casue it would not boot up right. i tried everything to get it working even updateing the bios and it still wouldnt.

I would take an e-machine over a gateway ANY day of the week.

They are using the same motherboards as Tunerfreak’s brand new gateway,nvida 6100 chipset.How bad can they be? :wink:

Not to mention they’ve got a PCIe x16 slot.

Same stuff,only thing that changes from model to model is the processors and they add more ram.
