I own a 2005 eMachine, 2.0 ghz AMD Athalon64. It's now a Windows 7
machine and does its job flawlessly. Just like any other brand you need
to know what you are buying within the brand name. Being semi-retired
from the IT world now since 2008 I've seen plenty of junk out there
with Compac, HP, Sony, Toshiba badges on them. One thing you need to
understand is not many if any make 100% of their own components. So you
should not make global statements condemning the badge name without this
knowledge.
