The system was dirt cheap, right out of the box,
and has never (!) crashed or stalled, playing
2-3 year old games very well.I figure with a budget of
$120 I can upgrade the graphics card and install 512MB more
RAM.


The AGP is for AGP videocards only. It is at least 4X
suppored, if not 8X speed, so you could pop in any current AGP
videocard.


I looked at the specs for this. It appears the AGP slot is an odd one. It
is AGPx2!!! Most AGP cards will not work.

I was curious because I've seen a few recent bare bottom eMachines that have
PCIe x16 slots! That's obviously kinda cool for such cheap PCs. This is
not one of those.

HTH!
