I put it up in the attic after using it of 6 mos. because it was slow and a piece of crap. I brought it out after over 2 yrs. of storage and hoped it would age well like a fine wine.... WRONG..... it was still slow as crap and full of problems. I ran into this blog stream and did most of what everyone here suggested... (upgraded RAM, deleted crap programs, adjusted performance settings like power saving, and a few other things)...... So now my T5082 is faster than any of my older computers running XP. It only cost me about an hours worth of time and $60 bucks for 2GB of RAM. Thanks guys for the comments. Most were right on. I won't say I love this computer but am liking it much better than when I bought it. Mike K. Had this machine for years.

I got so pissed with the "Windows world" that I went directly to an Apple Store and bought myself an iMac 20". Thanks, eMachines! You guys helped me enter a wonderful world: Macintosh!

I tried recently adding 2 2GB DDR 533 mhz ram into the two slots. It only recognizes one. I then checked under Bios and it show only on Ram slot activated, the other not. I tried switching a few different Ram and it will recognize the 2GB if I have the factory 512. Any thoughts? I am having problems with my T5082 with upgraded Ram.

I installed 2 gigs yesterday and it made a huge difference, next is a $50 graphics card and $35 power supply from Tiger and it should be plenty fast for my needs. Ive had the computer for well over a year and its been fairly slow until I added the RAM but its holding up well.
