Updates include new CPUs like the Intel Core i Series and AMD’s Phenom family...solid state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives...motherboard form factors, chipsets, power supplies, DDR3 memory, Windows 7 readiness, and a whole lot more!

 

Your guide, Scott Mueller, has taught thousands in his legendary personal seminars and millions more through his books and videos.

Upgrading and Repairing PCs (Upgrading & Repairing PC's (W/DVD))

This is an excellent book that covers all aspects of PC History, Upgrading and Repair, I have purchased this book for several years and is invaluable for any person serious about the workings of their computer.

It is a big book and absolutely worth the money, also the included DVD covers many video tutorials

The book also includes a code to access the Scott Mueller forum, worth the price of the book on it's own. Scott personally replies to the posts on that forum providing immediate access to an expert, indeed many of the forum members are Computer people themselves.

The book is fully up to date including information on the latest S1156 processor but also goes back to cover the very first Processors.

You won't be disappointed :)

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Altho' not an 'expert' I have chosen in the past all the components in the early days of double processors, matched RAM etc. etc. for my Lian Li large alu tower(before building it and then installing Windows XP Pro) ably aided and abetted by the contents of certain past editions of Mr. Muellers admirable reference, and find myself consulting it nowadays in order among other things to help determine whereabouts in the evolution of Intels "Nehalem" family of processors I would wish to settle when deciding the purchase of a future Apple Pro. ... Scott has certainly helped at vital times to straighten out my ideas and assisted obtaining the "best bang for my buck/s".
