Hey All, I am new here, but not new to forums in general. I am a Moderator at two forums. I ran across this site quite by accident while looking for an unlocked BiOS for the motherboard in here ( found it too ). As my avatar implies, I am a Coast Guard Veteran that included a tour in Vietnam. My first Computer was a Commodore 64. When the motherboard got fried due to a power surge, I "moved up" to a Coomodoer 128 and strted fooling around with CP/M a little. My first foray to the "Other side" was on a friend's computer that was running Windows 3.1. I finally made the jump when I bought a new computer running Windows 95. Skipped Win 98, 98SE, & Millenium and went to Win 2k Pro with my next machine. The next one was running XP Home, and the one after, XP MCE 2005 ( I still have and use that one ). With this one, I have finally caught up and am Dual Booting Vista & Windows 7. Also running a Core i7 920 ( at the moment). I do like my games when I have time as the moderating keeps me busy. The eMachines running XP MCE 2005 has been upgraded as far as it will go for the most part. I moved to the Pentium D 945 ( 3.4 GHz ), maxed out the ram ( Amount & Speed ) and installed an Nvidia 9800GT card and a Corsair 650w PSU ( a little overkill ). I love messing with my computers when I have the time and am getting ready to start pushing this one a bit.
