All in all, those machines are practically identical. if you're going to upgrade the RAM, I guess there's no real difference. I know the onboard video on the emachines is pretty bad, but I'm not sure how it is on the Gateway. I've never really done any research on that chipset...
Um... records show that the Athlon 64 3400 is only 2.2GHz...
