It might *work*, but I wouldn't try it. True to EMachines reputation, nearly every part in it (from reading the specs on it) is either low end, or very low end.
-Single core Athlon cpu with only 512kb of cache (not even produced any more).
-Integrated Geforce 8200 video, gutted with very little dedicated memory.
-The 3Gb of memory is only 2 sticks run in SINGLE channel (that = slow, inefficient).
-The motherboard has NO room for upgrade or expansion whatsoever.
-Power supply is pathetically weak and most definately generic.
To put it another way, I'd surf the internet on it, but this is definately grandma's email computer and not much more IMO.

I have en emachine.. it works. I of course cannot get any wonderful windlight graphics.
I really have to put the graphics to almost lowest settings to make it work. I choose custom and ad in local lighting. I have to keep terrain on low detail. Keep my draw distance down below 200.
I do fine, but can't wait until I upgrade. If your getting something new, I would wait until I could add some money too it.
