Gil, if there is no BIOS upgrade on eMachines web site than do not go to
motherboard manufacturer for BIOS upgrade.
Some 2-3 years ago I did that, and week after attempted update I got my new
mainboard. Some minor difference between retail motherboard version and
eMachines customized was large enough to render computer useless.
You can believe me that I was very thorough comparing hardware, looking in
version numbers, reading specifications, making lists of chips, comparing
them, and all that wasn't good enough.

Note to SuSE-list: So I tried my best but got nothing helpful from
e-Machines. If the BIOS is updateable I'll have to find the new BIOS
somewhere else.
Any suggestions on how I start? I guess the first thing I need to
determine is the manufacturer and model of the motherboard. Is there a
command line entry or GUI screen that will get me this info?
