A buddy from work gave me a comp that he dont use any more, its a emachine and i dont know to much about thigs like that. Can any one tell me how or if this is any good,

emachine T2542
intell extreme graphics 845gv
2.5GHz intell celeron processor
40gb ultra DMA harddrive.
10/100mbps ethernet card



also has a 48x cd-rw , stupid 56k modem. and 256 mb ram( i know i would have to up that)


the big thing is the vid card, its intagraded i belive last time i opened it. Is there any way to side step that to toss ina better one, if that one is not any good?


I dono what else it has in it, i have to get windows and format it and renstall all the drives if i can get them off the net,( didnt get any thing but the comp, no cds for anything) so if its not worth keepin and spendin the 80$ and ram and everything then i dont wanna do it. Tnx for da help
