Bjorn3D Expands XFX Support Staff.
I am happy today to announce the addition of our 3rd XFX support tech to the Bjorn3D support forums. Bjorn3D started hosting the XFX support forums in February of 2006. The demand for XFX support has grown alot over the last 2 years. Most of this has happened since XFX has became one of the leading NVIDIA AIB's. That and with people finding our support forums thru Google has seen a nice growth of readers and people looking for advice and help with their products.
Let's welcome aboard Mark.
