well, I installed the x64 version of xp64. It gave me a year evaluation, luckily, it only took about 15 minutes to realise how unsupported it was with the amd chipset. No wireless card support or gfx drivers support. That was all it took

I put xp pro back on but had to do a hacked firmware update because of service pack 2. Emachine doesn't support bios upgrades, and sp2 completely rendered hybernation and ALL of the function keys useless. Also meaning I could not enable my wireless net card. All is fine and the laptop is great now.
