Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Okay. Now for my rebuttal.
Pentium 4 Processors can address 4GB of RAM. The Grantsdale chipset supports up to 4GB of RAM. Windows XP PRO supports up to 4GB of RAM.
If you read my post you will note that I did not do any research because I did not purchase the PCs. They were purchased...
I have a customer with two GX280s that are reporting 3GB of RAM when 4GB is physically installed. I initially thought that perhaps two 1GB sticks and two 512MB sticks had been installed in each system.
I went onsite and powered one of the units up and found that they did, in fact, have 4 1GB...
Unless he paid with cash. Paper money is still good for some things.
And for the sake of staying on topic: I hit Staples and got the I/O Magic DVD burner to replace my current 8x. Dual Layer capability is a nics bonus. Got the 160GB drive, the 256MB Attache, and a 40 pack of TEAN DVD-R...
