I purchaced a emachine model # w2047 on 05/10/03. The box states it has 128 mb of RAM. When I checked the system properties it says it has only 96 mb. I called the company and talked to Levi. He states it has 32 mb video shared memory +96 mb = 128 mg. It does not say anywhere on the box or in the instructions that it is a 96 mg +32 shared to equal 128 mg. It clearly states it has 128 mb of RAM. That is false advertising.

We bought a eMachine July of 2001. It ran slow and we just thought that we got what we paid for ... what we just found out was that the machine does not have the 128mb ram listed on the front sticker but only 32.,/p>

Economically...we will be paying to have our 32 upgraded to 128 as I can't be bothered to deal with the company.

I recently bought an emachine computer with Windows XP. It said it had 128mb. It kept freezing and I took it back and was told it only had 98mb, not enough to run Windows XP. I had to upgrade and pay for more memory. I am very upset. I don't I should have to pay for the upgrade because I think that eMachine knew that it was not enough memory.
