that are really nice with XP on them. You can get the desktop and monitor for $399 and it has like 2 GB RAM and it has XP and not Vista. You also get a keyboard and mouse and speakers with it. These are no doubt going fast and will come only with Vista soon but check it out. It may be what you need. They have fast AMD processors also. Emachines are made by Acer now and that is a good company.

Emachines anyone? Thinking of buying one just for MT/wordprocessing. Pros? Cons? Don't want to p
