Outstanding
If it isn't in this book, you don't need to know it. Current, well organized and specific.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Good book to own, but needs proofreading
I used this book for a hardware course. The book gives detailed coverage on almost all topics, except printers. (The Linux edition has one). Because it does not have troubleshooting section, we also use Bigelow's book (ISBN 0072132728).
The book has some errors that could be avoided. Some examples:
1.On page 407: DRAM has "refresh rate of 15us (microseconds)" [3rd P]. This contradicts with "data to be refreshed (essentially rewritten) every 15ms (milliseconds) or so." [5th P on page 404] (Refresh rate should be 16ms).
2.Page 103: "Th is section..." [2nd P]; page 410: "f*ound" instead of "found" [1st P]; on page 411 the phrase "Cache designs were originally" is repeated; on page 416: "..aA newer.." [last P]; on page 495: "MMMany other..." [1st line]; on page 774: "Some peoplepeople..." [second Para. from bottom].
If used as a reference, the book is excellent. I hope that the next edition is better. (I deduct one star for the errors)

Technically good, but . . . . .
There's a lot of stuff here. But it's very difficult to navigate and not very well organized. One of my co workers loaned me a book called PC Hardware Maintenance and Repair by Michael Graves and I find myself going to it instead. Still, Scott really does know his stuff.
