Summary: Valuable Benchmarks
Comment: To me, the book's value was that it showed me how to measure the effect (usefulness) of my operations using benchmarks. I learned I didn't need more RAM. I could speed up my CPU. My disk drive was actually performing faster than I thought. I used to the tips in the modem chapter to speed up my dial up throughput by 14% percent (works for me).
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent coverage of CPU and bus over clocking
Comment: If you don't try any other upgrades, you owe it to yourself (and your PC) to give over clocking a try. Using the benchmarks the book describes, I was able to boost my PC performance by 20% by over clocking my CPU. However, I followed the book's advance and slowed my CPU back down and instead speeded up my system bus. My performance jumped by 32%!
The book shows you how to use software to cool your CPU -- so I have not yet had to add extra fans.
A great chapter!

Summary: Faster Printing
Comment: I have a HP LaserJet printer with a network card. I took the book's advice and connected my pc (via a hub) to the printer using a network (100Mbs). I print a lot of large graphics. They seem to print 20 to 30% faster using the network connection.
