Title: Pulls no punches
Product review: This is a very opinionated book and that's one of it's biggest strengths. There are all the facts, tables, and charts that you'd expect in a book about PC hardware but the book really shines because the authors aren't afraid to name names and give no nonsense advice about what to buy (and what not to buy). I'm building a new PC and was dithering between a fast Pentium III and a fast Athlon. After reading the chapter on processors I decided to buy a mid-range processor that isn't much slower than the top end ones and spend the $400 I saved on more memory, a faster hard disk, and better video. I bet Intel and AMD hate these guys.
