Welcome to the forums martin55.

These computers were not designed to be upgraded. Your case is too small, the power supply is only 220w and the motherboard is not going to accept any CPU that would make upgrading worthwhile. You would be better off selling it and putting the money toward a gaming computer.

That's probably not what you wanted to hear, but it would a waste to put any money into that computer.

it runs games like cod 4 and far cry 1 just fine but i just want a little more performance and buying a new computer is out of the question because this one is only 2 weeks old.....at the least i would like to be able to play fallout 3 and games around that level of performance...i saw a 1.6 amd cpu that i thought would work and that would be just a little more performance that i am looking for

The eMachines Black EL1360G-UW11P is a low-end desktop that sells for about $300.00 and is NOT designed for system-hungry hard-core gaming like you're wanting it to do.

I have to concur with black-wolf.

I don't see any info on emachines website if the cpu can be upgraded. You would need to verify with emachines if it can and to what cpu's. http://www.emachines.com/ec/en/US/co...l/PT.ND5P2.002
