Hard to believe you got a P4 Motherboard that supports 4GB of ram.
My last Desktop was a 3.0Ghz P4 with 512 Meg of Ram in it but I had to pretty
much give up on it due to limited options for things like Browsers.

I'm guessing they are still using that name on a greatly upgarded system. (?)
I tried looking that up and found one listed (discontinued) but it was running
an I7 5th Gen Core which is probably not what yours is..
I don't so much mind the limitations of my Laptop mentioned above, other than
the problem with it not allowing Software updates anymore.
Unfortunately Vista software updates are the same as Win XP, not Win 7..
I do have a low end HP Dual Core Win7 Laptop with 4GB of Ram, upgradable to
8GB, which I will probably have to change over to for my main machine before
too long..
