eMachines EL1200-06w desktop computer Review

The eMachines EL1200-06W is amazing.Ever since I bought this machine, I have turned it from a low-grade nettop, to a true performance machine. I upgraded to 3GB of DDR2 RAM, and replaced the stock hard drive with a Western Digital Caviar Blue Hard Drive.

I also took off XP, and I dual-partitioned the hard drive to have Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7600 RTM Edition. The gaming capability of this computer is actually pretty good in my tests of this device.

The first game I tried with this was Halo: Combat Evolved. It did amazingly well, after a few of my performance tweaks to the graphics system.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted performed extremely good as well. Very few hang ups if any.

Boot time for both systems I have installed is amazing. For Vista I have a boot time of between 15-20 seconds, and for Windows 7, I got a time of 8-13 seconds.

So from the factory, this computer was nothing but a low-end computer, but with a few adjustments, this machine has became a performance monster!
