Looking for Answers about eMachines eMachines ET1331G-03W Desktop PC with AMD Athlon II X2 Dual-Core Processor & Windows 7 Home Premium?

I have ran into this before. althugh it was on a windows me based emachines many years ago upgrading to an agp card. sometimes it helps to uninstall the original display driver when dealing with onboard graphics.

Power supply for this eMachines desktop tower is 300W.

no

As with all computers and power supplies , please check to see what the wattage is , and the voltage rails and amperage of the power supply. If you use the wrong video card and the power supply cant handle it, your computer could become an expensive paperweight , and or require expensive repair.

Maximum supported resolution is 1920 x 1440 pixels (@75 Hz) for RGB display and 1600 x 1200 pixels (@65 Hz) for DVI-D display

This computer is not compatible with Crossfire because it has only 1 PCI Express x16 slot and a 300 watt power supply. You can add in a card, but check the box of the card you are buying before you install it to ensure it can work with your power supply. You might be able to purchase a better power supply to use a better card, but this is not covered in your warranty and can void it.

Of course! The games you can play depends on the system requirements of each individual games. Windows 7 uses a Windows Experience Index rating to give you an idea of what kind of games your computer is playing and what games your computer cannot play sufficiently.

You can read here:

for more information about how the ratings work. Even though this article applies to Windows Vista it also applies to Windows 7.

You can add in another video card as well , but it has to be compatible with the current power supply in your computer.

Yes you can upgrade.

Basically, you'd want a PCI x16 graphics card because it has: One PCI Express 2.0 ×16 slot

ATI has some very good PCI x16 cards...

A PCI Class 56k modem is what you will be looking for. Technically if it says Vista compatible then it will work with Windows 7.

I would research each modem you have in mind before purchasing and download the drivers for it if a Windows 7 driver exists. You might find yourself in a situation unable to connect to the internet until the right driver is installed for the modem. Or in some other cases it might be a plug and play deal where the driver was already built into the system.

yes it is I play games online and off line and so far this system has not failed me I bought it the first day it was out and LOVE it
