MB, All - an interesting review of an Emachine on MSNBC. msnbc.com Seems like they are really going to wreak havoc in the retail channel (and eventually in corporate sales also, IMO). Some excerpts I found particularly interesting: But if you're like me and need a home computer to write, surf, do some household bookkeeping and play music and games, then do I have a bargain for you! THESE DAYS, there's no need to spend more than $599... Within eight months they went from “who?” to the No. 4 computer marketer in the United States... I added another 32MB of RAM (for a total of 64MB) and saw no major (or minor) increase in computer speed. The 400i does fine with the standard 32MB... (Not exactly music to Micron's ears.) Speaking of speed, I did find one application that really shows how fast a computer can “do the math” and crunch numbers. If you're a fan of MSNBC's Alan Boyle (like I am) you've been reading about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence using the SETI@Home software ... Each SETI file is 330KB. My HP Kayak workstation (at work) with a 350MHz Pentium II, 128MB of RAM and NT 4.0 processes the file in a little more than 40 hours. The same size file takes just under 50 hours on the 400i ... Remember, the 400i is something like one-fifth the price of the Kayak
