The Advanced Forum module is located at: http://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum

You will also need the Author Pane project: http://drupal.org/project/author_pane

These modules are installed the usual way--download to sites/all/modules folder and install through admin/build/modules. Don't forget to set permissions. Advanced_forum module lets you set configuration options.

You can run phpBB on the same server and use a bridge between phpBB and your Drupal site. See this project: http://drupal.org/project/phpbb2drupal. HOwever I believe there is some complexity with running these two systems side-by-side, particularly in synchronizing user information.
