Jeffrey, good review. I read a similar one in San Jose MN a few weeks ago. I would bet most PC owners out there still own machines with much less speed and capacity than the cheapest e-machine. Excerpt... When I first heard about E-Machines' $399 PC, I was a bit skeptical. It doesn't have the speed, memory or storage capacity of today's top-of-the-line Intel Pentium II- or Pentium III-based machines. But after using the etower 300K, I'm convinced that many users can get more than enough computing power for a very reasonable price. My evaluation unit came with a 300-megahertz Advanced Micro Devices K6-2 CPU, 32 megabytes of RAM, a 2.1-gigabyte hard drive and a reasonably fast ATI Rage IIc 3-D graphics card with 4mb of RAM. There is also a 24-speed CD-ROM drive, a 56-kilobits-per-second internal modem and, of course, a keyboard, mouse and floppy disk drive. Gottfried
