If I had to choose between an eMachine and a Compaq, I would go eMachine 100%. I've heard 100% had things about Compaq, but only about half and half for eMachines. I bought a Compaq 5 years ago when I knew shit about PCs and took it back THREE days later. Yes, I had that many problems. I'd go for the eMachines...that RAM will make XP run a bit faster as well.
If there's an extra bay for CD drives, etc. then the DVD burner should work fine. If not, then you can always replace the CD-RW burner with it.
