Is this a good computer? Emachine T3302 Desktop AMD 3300, 1GB RAM ,160 GB
Hard drive capacity ,2 GHz Processor speed, Processor type AMD sempron.
Just
wanted to upgrade my computer to something faster. I will be using it for
surfing the net and printing photos and that's about it. Adding a few
programs.
I would disagree with the other responses concerning Emachine. They have
come a long way in the last few years and I know at least a 1/2 doz owners
that are totally satisfied. In the arena of entry level computers, be it
HP, Compaq, Dell, etc there are no real winners or losers, they all use the
bare minimum to keep costs down. For what you want to use it for the machine
you mentioned will do just fine. Just take a look inside an Emachine and a
HP of like performance and you will find that the emachine is easily
upgraded with more memory or a 2nd hard drive, it has a removable drive tray
with the power and ide cable just sitting there. With a HP you'll be lucky
if you can find a place to put a 2nd drive and will probably have to take
the machine half apart to add memory. Stick with the emachine.
