Title: Not a good reference book
Product review: I wouldn't reccomend this book to anyone.The book is for COMPLETE beginners. If you at all interested in truly "learning" about hardware, find a better book. Not much can be learned in 24hrs, and this book barely touches on the major types of hardware. It won't be much of a reference book at all once you encounter a problem.If youre wondering if you should attempt to upgrade on your own, this book might give you an idea of the concepts involved and help you decide if you wish to procede. Once you do, you will inevitably need a more advanced book.Two titles I can reccomend are (in order of quality)1) "Upgrading and Repairing" PC's by Scott Mueller and QUE publishing. (very complete reference)2) "Upgrading and Maintaining Your PC" by Ulrich Schueller and Abacus Publishing. (probably better for a beginner, but a great book)I have all three of these books. I'll tell ya now, I never touch Upgrading and Fixing PCs, I use the other two often.Enjoy learning! : )
