Beware!
This book was published in 1998. Computers had hamsters running on wheels for cpus when this was published. It's a great idea, but it's way out of date. Check the website for the latest hardware.

Null and Void
I find it very deceptive and amazing how Amazon allows the third party book providers to display old books that are VERY time sensitive when it comes to computer technology. Why would any person purchase a book that was copywrited in 1998, think it would actually apply to todays 2003-2004 computer technologies? Yes, A book basically six years outdated I purchased, not because I wanted it for historical reasons, but that I assumed it was relatively current and applicable to todays computer industry. Yes, it was wrong of me to assume this book was current to todays technologies, however Amazon would be best served if it would mandate that all time sensitive technology books like this one be required to post(or otherwise disclose) the publishing or copywrite date on the website so that an informed consumer can make an inteligent decision without performing an archaeological dig with a customer service representative. I believe this negligent practice by Amazon will over the long run discourage long time dedicated customers such as myself and persuade me to shop else where. For all you other people out there, be very suspicious. Oh!, the book does not even qualify for an honest review.

An out dated Joke!!!
I just got this book & it is so out dated that nothing in it even applies to today's standard's. If you want a nice paper wieght laying around the house. Go a head & buy it. If you want to Upgrade your PC look at PC Upgrade Magazine or Maximum PC. Stay away from out dated stuff like this... I had to give it a star, but I would take that one away also.
