4.0 out of 5 stars Just seemed to be lacking in places, 15 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Your Own PC (Step-By-Step Series) (Paperback)
Most of the material was very current in this latest edition. However, as a PC building novice, even I noticed the glaring omissions (such as how to install an internal modem) Clearly AGP will the standard for video cards in the not-so-distant future, but not enough was said about them. I was happy to see PII processors discussed, but I could have lived without seeing the same pictures and text all over again. Overall, pretty thorough, but I feel like I need other books and materials to fill in gaps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sufficient, but out of date.., 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Although this book was enough to get me understanding how to build my own PC, it BARELY was enough. It was published in 1998, but there was no mention of ATX, SCSI, or even PII processors! I'd save your money and get something more up to date and extensive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book presenting subject matter in a logical manner, 23 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Book is easy to read through in 2 days or less. Gives good information especially if this is your first computer assembly book. Not overly technical but sticks to essential assembly procedures. Book should probably be priced less than $15. Book is not a debugging manual for problems with WIN95/98 installation.
