Hi Andrew, You would have to check to see if the Emachine supports the "new" cpu or amount of "new" RAM you want to install in it. Do you have make and model numbers that you can use to do a web search for this? don Don Stevens TFI, Inc.

I got the DIY bug and am considering trying to speed up an older PC. I'm hoping y'all can coach me on doing it or just investing in a new PC. I have an eMachines with 3 GB RAM and a 1.8 GHz AMD Athlon processor running Windows 7 64 bit premium. Can I just but a new CPU and RAM and plug them in?
