Is it worth it to
in my opinion, yes it is worth it. you would be doubling what you have and should see some performance difference. shop around though because memory prices really very. look at newegg.com

hi
if your mouse & keyboards is USB
some main boards just will know them when windows started up completely
and some else needs something to set in main board setup.

My emachines T2698 won't start up. When I turn it
Using the restore discs might not have been so benign; nevertheless, perhaps your machine was off-put by a new piece of hardware (e.g. USB drive, external HD, webcam, etc.) you put on.
Unplug all but the basics; mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor...and just reboot, selecting Boot Normally and hitting Enter if asked to choose.
For that matter make sure the monitor's plugged in well, clean out the machine with compressed air and a canister vacuum, check that the videocards etc. are well seated...and retry.
Failing that, give some proper detail as to what works, what's unpromising, and what's unexpected.
Cpu upgrade
Hi Keith... here is all I could find on this machine, I assume this is how yours is set up. Component details are almost impossible to get on E-machine units, they just do not provide them.
- Processor Intel Celeron D 356 / 3.33 GHz
- Memory 512.0 MB / 2.0 GB (max)
- Hard Drive 120.0 GB - 7200.0 rpm
- Operating System Microsoft Windows Vista
First, you want to check to see if your proc even can be changed; many of E-machine procs are permanently attached to the motherboard and cannot be removed; this is the cheapest way to manufacture a computer, and E-machines is bottom of the line quality computer (no insult intended, just fact). Since I don't know what CPU socket the T3604 has I can't tell you if the Intel CPU would fit it. Next, I don't know what the Northbridge is running at; if it is less than 1066 there will be a bottleneck and there is no significant gain. At this point, I suggest that you not spend a lot of money on this, better to save and build your own computer. If you are a hardcore gamer looking for high framerates you really don't want this machine. Better to load in more RAM if you have no other options. Here is something I ran across:

If I had the above details I could give you an answer.
My emachine t1831-07 keeps getting stuck on green
www.dynamite.com might still sell what you want :> Just kiddding!Try a complete wiping of the hard-drive unless you are doing an upgrade, you will lose all data on the drive. If that doesn't work, you might not be running enough ram memory for 7 to run cleanly on you machiine, go ahead and upgrade.Hope this helps!
