This computer can go alot faster and perform at least 3 times as good as it came. Just follow these steps:
Get it optimized, you have to do this in order to get rid of all the annoying adds. Makes it go faster.
Buy this and it has to be exactly this, nVidia gForce 6600 GT OC. Make sure its GT OC and has 128 megabytes of GDDR3. This will increase the speed dramaticaly but call nVidia for help to instal it b/c its more than just disabling and installing software.
Once all thats done, delete all the free trials and memberships and that will once again make it faster.
Then if you want to which you dont really need to, you can upgrade to 1gigabyte of DDR RAM. Only do this if you want to play games like Fear. Well it still plays with what you got in for the most part, high settings but you will need to get more RAM b/c when you exit the game it will say "virtual memory is low" But anyway, without the 1 giga RAM it still goes above satisfactory speeds on only 328 megabytes of RAM all b/c of the graphics card.
Then add a whole bunch of stuff to it b/c it practicaly comes with nothing except powerdvd and a really good version of Nero. Well thats what I got.
Hope you find this usefull excuse spelling

I bought this PC at TigerDirect (now sold out) in early Oct. for $399 U.S.. I have used both bios revisions for MS7093, MSI's 3.80 and Emachines 4.0b. MSI's does give a few more options and this is the bios i currently use. No stablity or any other problems to report. I use MSI's utilities with no issues either. I have upgraded the back case fan from the 80mm to a 92mm MadDog fan (if you open the case you'll see the case is already set up for this!) and use Speedfan to adjust speed. Also added an expansion slot fan by same company, overall lowered case temp buy 6-8 degrees celsius. Added an Connect3d x800 GTO pci/e ($184.00)modded to 16p and overclocked to 580/560 with ATITool with no problems and have added copper ramsinks to back mem (used extras on southbridge) still on stock cooling 42 idle 81 load, with power adapter plugged in through the dvd/cdrom chain. I use mostly mounted images with virtual drives and haven't had problems running 24/7. I did try the new emachines bios revision 4.0b but this actually lowered my FSB HyperT speed from 1000 to 800. The old bios had the option for adjustement from 200 to 1ghz (stock was set at 800) but the newer bios actually took away the option so i went back to MSI's 3.80. Clockgen works great and stock cpu cooler keeps up fine, didn't even see any temp increase after going to 2.2ghz. If you use this i suggest increase to 2.1ghz then to 2.2ghz as i locked it up a couple times with a direct jump. Fan upgrades and ramsinks, copper, cost $26 bucks. I plan to add 1gb of ram 2x512 as it is dual channel, a 400w+ PSU (the case is ATX formfactor which makes this easy), an SATA drive,, and eventually a 3700+ cpu or better. Way down the road some version of ATI's x1800 series card. I also yanked out the modem. Plays Doom 3 at 1024/768 High quality, SW Battlfront 2 looks and sounds great. This should last me about as long as my Emonster 550 did, which still works (kids PC)
