hardware profile


I spent 2 weeks trying to find Biostar UCV motherboard specs on the 'Net, I ended up finding a printed manual. It can be difficult to find specifications on older hardware, so this is my own little way of helping. Here are the specifications of some of the equipment that I have.

Motherboards

Hard Disks
