I currently use an eMachine and has worked well so far. The power supply that comes with the PC should have ample wattage unless you decide to upgrade your graphics card or add other components.
The 512MB, especially running Home Basic, will be sufficient. I'm running the Business Edition on my laptop with 512MB, and although is not a gamer by any means, it runs well enough for everyday computing. Keep in mind that my laptop is not a Vista Capable PC as the eMachine your are thinking to buy. Your eMachine should run Vista just fine. Later on when you have some cash you can opt for more RAM. |
