I'm not a huge fan of eMachines, but that is a hell of a lot of computer for the price of a netbook.

Ya. Just wish it had at least 1440x900 resolution and more than two usb ports.

I don't know about the resolution, but you can get a USB hub with the money you saved.

NOW, do you know how to turn on both cores of that dual core? from the factory, only one is active. check it out. I even had to turn on the dual core mode in my Asus.

I had to enable mine in the BIOS as well. Dell XPS. Same thing with the Lenovo Thinkpads at work. I always check the BIOS settings on any new PC I use anyway.
