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.
I know the intel atom is far from the best chip out there, but I was wondering if I put an SSD in my netbook would I even notice any performance upgrade?
I did. I put an Intel X-25V in my HP Mini 311 netbook (which has a single core Atom and ION graphics) and there was a pronounced performance difference. Wakes from sleep in like 4 secs.
I think you got more performance since you have the ION graphics Windows can use that to handle AERO where as in this case my chip set is left with the burden of AERO.
I think it would still make a big difference in snappiness.. It would be as extreme as putting an SSD on a high end gaming rig, but still should be a noticeable performance increase.
