Upgrading and Repairing PCs (22nd Ed)
by Scott Mueller
Que Publishing | July 2015 | ISBN-10: 0789756102 | ePUB | 48.6 MB

This 22nd edition continues to deliver the most authoritative, current, and comprehensive reference on everything associated with computer hardware; includes an instructional and reference DVD; and an online "Bonus Content" that includes additional videos and the complete 19th and 20th editions of this book (in PDF format). Since this book contains older and obsolete information that is readily available in prior online PDF editions, future editions might eliminate much of this information for a smaller but more current tome. Technical data changes too fast to be current, but the historical perspectives, conceptual diagrams and figures, and how-to techniques that reference online data sources would be invaluable.
The historical backgrounds are especially invaluable in understanding the current state of computer hardware and how we got there. This information is probably available on the Internet by searching multiple sites, but in this book it is already all there in one place in a very easy to understand format. The time saved from this convenience can not be overstated.
To supplement this book Scott Mueller still has a forum website for updated information, questions, and comments related to all aspects of the book. In addition the Que Store book reference page also has excellent free DVD videos, resources, and articles to supplement this book (that are updated daily).
