Question: Will you ship to a P.O. Box?
Answer: Absolutely! However, as you may be aware, only the United States Postal Service (USPS) can ship to Post Office (P.O.) Boxes. Which means, if the default shipping method for this item is Standard Flat Rate (Fedex), we will have to ship the item via USPS which is typically more expensive.

CONFIGURATION ISSUES --
Question: My system arrived with less System Memory / RAM then advertised, what gives?
Answer: If you ordered a system with 4GB of memory and a 32-bit Operating System (most versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista), it is merely a Windows reporting issue. At this time, Microsoft is facing some hardware and software limitations that prevent Windows from reporting the full system memory (typically it will report 3.0 to 3.3 GB of RAM available) due to a variety of technical hurdles. They are working to correct the issue. It is a widely documented issue you can read more about from Microsoft at this link. In many cases the memory is still used by the graphics bus. If you want to verify your exact memory installed, you can physically examine the memory inside the system case, check the motherboard BIOS memory information, or use a system information utility.
Question: My system arrived with less hard disk space then advertised, what gives?
Answer: Hard Disk sizes are not exact because hard disk manufacturers advertise disk sizes differently then how Windows recognizes them. Windows also has special formatting that removes some available space. To be more specific, the reason less hard disk space is reported available is because size conversions are not exact; as in 1 gigabyte is not exactly 1,000,000,000 bytes, it is actually 1,073,741,824 bytes. You'll see that if you divide 580GB by 1,073,741,824 bytes you end up with 540.17GB - this is because hard drives are advertised in decimal sizing (base 10) but are viewed by Windows in binary.
