Summary: 5 Stars
Very good book, I have several of Scott Mueller books and this one is even better then the previous versions. The DVD is great show new computer how to set up routers and a wireless network. The book goes into detail about repair and troubleshooting the system. Along with spec on CPU Memory and other spec.I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about there computer and repair and do upgrade on your own. The DVD alone is worth the price if you never set up a wireless or hard wire network this DVD will show you step by step how along with other information on it.Book Review: Another winner

I totally enjoy reading Scott Mueller's books on computers, simply because he writes so you can understand what he is saying. His books are up to date on the very latest computer systems, plus Windows. Included is a DVD which has become invaluable to own, as you can watch on your monitor what he has written. If you don't own this book and you are interested in computers you should have it in your library. Your knowledge will be improved without having to use a computer dictionary to understand what he is saying.Book Review: Could be thinner and better

Authour should get rid of the information about old IBM 80286 processors and other vintage trivia. If we want to know about that we can order the 10th or earlier edition of the book. The 17th edition had a lot of good explanation about current technology but lacked the dual and quad processors that the 18th edition carries. Unfortunately they took out some of the good stuff (dual channel memory explanation for example) but again kept pages and pages about 80's computers.Book Review: P C Compendium
Summary: 4 Stars
A most comprehensive treatment of computers from their beginning to present. the author has a long and extensive experience with the subject and offers critical insights and knowledge, especially for those building their own computer. At times the history is too much, but interesting, nonethless a good book for those so inclined to more fully understand the workings of the modern marvel known as the personal computer!! a bonus is the cd on networking setup!!Book Review: Very well done!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a computer technician so can not be very specific about the real nuts and bolts of the book from a technician's point of view. But as a person who just likes computers and is interested in how they work, I find this book quite informative and helpful. It is good for learning about what to look for when things go wrong, getting ideas for upgrading, maintenance, etc. And, you can't beat the Amazon.com price on this one. Recommended.
