I second that. Heard the same news. And besides which, much of Emachines success is attributed to the fact that it IS a value seller. I don't see their prices getting cheaper. Of course, having said that, if you have the luxury of waiting months then you may get a cheaper price just by...

Matthew: Thanks for the tips, I'll check those tools out. By the sounds of it though, I should back up all of my stuff first. Sounds like it could play some havoc on the system. I wonder whether overclocking has any effect on the lifetime of the components. Hmmm... Arcane: Glad you're...
