Damn sub are you retarded? This is your third thread, same topic except now you say its for your friend.
The Pc you posted here is a piece of crap. It is a 3.0 SINGLE CORE.
The Gateway in the other post is a 2.0 DUAL core. So it is basically a 4.0 to put it to terms you can understand. The emachines would cost the same or more as the Gateway after you upgrade. Vista with 1g or ram runs like S H I T.
Problem is you want a gaming computer in a budget that is impossible by todays gaming standard. I've read all of your threads and know what you want more then anyone here probably, I researched for an hour and the Gateway from before is your ticket. Only future upgrade it would need is a video card, which is good because you would probably have a hard time upgrading those other ones as much as they need.
The Emachines here has a decent processor but needs more ram and it doesnt have the tv funtionability.
