Recently I setup my Windows Server 2008r2 server to be a WDS(Windows Deployment Services) server. I've had an ever increasing number of clients needing to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 and this is the easiest way to get from point A to point B. This allows a boot directly to the my network, transfers all files and installs without a cd/dvd or usb device. It cuts the time of an install by about a third. This also allows me to do a re-install for a corrupt instillation. I’ve also created a portable WDS for my laptop so I can be mobile in servicing clients.
I've worked with installed and configured the following hardware items:

I've installed Intel, AMD and Cyrix microprocessors in the respective motherboard above. These have been installed in socket 775, 370, slot 1 motherboards
I also have about 20 years of experience with hard drive installation and configuring. My first hard drive was a 30 megabyte drive and cost over $300. Now a 30 gigabyte drive is small. I thought it was wonderful since I was booting from floppy disks before that. I've install and configured IDE, EIDE, Sata I, II, and SCSI drives in both desk top and laptop computers.
Memory is another area I have a lot of experience in. I have installed, updated or replaced the following types of memory: DIMM, SDRAM, DDR2, DDR3, single channel, dual channel, desktop and laptop. I've installed the following makes of memory: Kingston, Samsung, Pny, USModular, Crucial and Ultra.
Modems are almost a thing of the past but, I do have a lot of experience with V.90 telephone modems and their respective software. I've also installed various cable and DSL modems.
Since the time of the Commodore 64 and 128 I have been involved with various and many software programs. Starting with operating systems to spreadsheets, word processors and ending up with programming languages.
