Walmart has 1.6gig Athalon emachine with 40meg harddrive, cdrw, 125 meg ddrdram 15"monitor and keyboard and stuff, xphome, works suite and other stuff for $598 it's tempting.
e machines are definatly shit. I agree with PAul, you can get a Compaq or anyone else for not much more that will hold up a lot better. Pluss wally world won't be there for you like any computer retailer.
