Hi, you may be limited to what hard drive you can install internally according to this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
The eMac only supports Parallel IDE hard drives, and not SATA hard drives for internal drives, and the jumper configuration should match what is inside the machine. The installation should be left to an authorized repair center. If the above article 86178 article doesn't apply to you, yes a 500 GB Parallel ATA drive would work.
Best regards
