[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 744106, member: 56231"] Oh yes, it most certainly is. Nothing you can do about the processor, but memory certainly, which can be taken to 1 Gb maximum. That model of eMac is USB 1, which rather limits options in that respect. You can also upgrade both the hard drive and the optical drive. [U]Be aware[/U] that eMacs have a reputation for logic board capacitor failure. It's well-documented, so do some serious research. You may never experience the problem - here's hoping for you - but if it does occur, there's plenty of advice on Mac forums various about what can be done. [U]Do not[/U] buy into the "get an expensive replacement logic board" argument. Enjoy your eMac - they're a good desktop computer. [/QUOTE]
