motherboards are not the same for every case , but of courrse their are defacto's.

pci slots fit pci cards
agp slots fit agp cards.
they cannot be interchanged. but most of them ar unviversal for older pci or agp cards

depending on the motherboard you get , of you want to transfer all pc cards and etc from
the emachine tower.

you should look into

motherboard  cpu compatiblity
ram compatility
hardrive compatiblity
video card needs if agp or pci.
usb support
ps/2 keyboard support.

integerated motherboards are the worst , if your going to upgrade get one that has very few
integerations.

if you need a better answer , please include the model # and the tower name of the emachine.
i believe most oem machines used many integerated parts . so you may only be able to scavange
certain items.
