Performance Monitor or Performance Monitoring?
The book was well focused on Microsoft Performance Monitor (ie, how to configure PerfMon) and provided some good insight on how to read and determine problems with specific counters. Some trouble-shooting techniques were provided, however very weak in substance. The majority of this book was really focused on PerfMon and reading and understanding the counters, bottom line. The spelling was unusually high in errors, and a spelling checker would have done this book good. I am surprised it actually got published like this! At any rate, I still feel I got my money's worth and I feel more confident using PerfMon and understanding counter values and what sort of error you may be experiencing if you exceed the threshold of some of these values.

not very good
This book has very little information in it. It has taken about 25 pages of useful information and combined it with some basic NT admin knowledge, some fairly useless tests and test cases and repeated itself a lot (I think I've found 5 explanations of the page file which are the same) and stretched it all out into a book. Also, it doesn't explain some things very well.
Rating: 4 out of 5
lots of useful tips
Very readable, lots of practical advice, and a truly fantastic number of typos. What ever happened to proofreading?
