5.0 out of 5 stars Goes from strength to strength!, 25 Oct 2004
By Mr. S. A. E. Ball "ball100" (Peterborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A worthy next chapter in Scott Mueller's encyclopaedia of all PC hardware. It's hard to think of any subject that the book doesn't address in depth. Whether you're a beginner attempting their first build, or a seasoned expert looking up obscure technical data, this book is a must (providing that you're strong enough to lug it around).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed, 22 Oct 2004
By Darren "DC" (Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Comprehensive, assumes little knowledge but goes into every bit of detail imaginable.

Very up to date (Oct 04) - SATA-II, Athlon FX, P4 EE etc.

Each chapter describes how the technology has developed (eg hard drives, processors, memory) and then gives technical info on each iteration of the hardware. Troubleshooting tips are provided.

Excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I'd known about this book years ago!, 7 Oct 2005
By C. Verspeak "f*" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I'm using this book as a supplemental to an A+ study guide (the Meyer one). It is a fantastic encyclopedia of PC hardware. There are sections on pretty much everything you could imagine, from the development of microprocessors (history, architecture, models released) to USB flash storage devices and how CDs are made.

The only qualm I have is some of the data may be a little out of date. I'm not sure all the latest processors and other equipment is included in this edition. But thats because of the pace of technology right now, not because of any inadequacy in the writing.

Essentially, if you want to know how computers work, or how to install, upgrade, or repair pretty much any part of one, get this book. It is as good as the publicity says - if you are in any way serious about IT you will find yourself dipping into it time and time again.

The bonus disc is uesful too. You get various previous editions in pdf format, as well as selected chapters. Perfect for loading onto your PDA and reading on the tube or bus!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but one or two worries
I just read this book cover to cover. Genrally, it's a great book, but there are some niggling errors, inconsistencies and woolly bits. Read more
