I guess is depends on whether or not the power supply can handle the extra load. Usually they give you a little room to upgrade in regards to the kind of power supplies they put in those pre-made machines but not too much. It also depends on what kind of memory is in the emachine and if it can match up to handle the higher FSB of the new cpu. Also the motherboard just may not even support it.
Just a few thoughts that comes to my mind. You could always just slap it in and see what happens.... |
