Summary: A First Rate Reference Book
Comment: Scott Mueller certainly knows his stuff. At first glance, you might think that this mammouth sized book is only for power user's. Afterall, Mueller goes into exhaustive detail on literally every aspect of the modern PC and how it functions. However, the author writes with such clarity and simplicity that even the most novice user should be able to decipher the meaning of his explanations. The book is full of terrific diagrams, and special tips and cautionary notes. He teaches everything from basic computer maintenance to partitioning hard drives, to choosing the correct power-protection system, etc. This edition also gives extra attention to the SCSI.
Chances are you you won't ever use all the wealth of information that is provided in the book. But I guarantee, whatever you are looking for you will find. Surprisingly, you will find it easily too! Mueller arranges the book so that it is easy to weed through what is unnecessary for you and get right to what is relevant.
This book is to the PC what Gray's Anatomy is to the human body. It is a must for every PC owner.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Comment: How many computer how-to manuals have you read and come away from with a sense of awe? Scott Mueller's writing style is wonderful. His ego has no need to bamboozle us with unnecessary techno-babble and geekaneese. When techno-babble is necessary, he explains and clarifies so that it is understandable. I came to this industry rather late in life (I changed careers in my mid thirties when a PII 300 was the baddest chip on the block) and read this book cover to cover. In my case, the background information he provides on chips and systems from the 286 on up to present day was especially helpful. With an understanding of the hows and whys of original computer design, the hows and whys of modern computer architecture become clear. Why is memory designed and configured the way it is? Why are hard drives laid out the way they are? Should you go with SCSI or IDE? The answers to these and countless other questions are answered in this book.
When I started repairing computers, I found this to be an invaluable resource that I returned to countless times. I concur with those that say if you can only have one technical reference manual, this is the one to have. If you want to understand computers, buy this book. It's the best value on the planet.
I own the 5th, 8th, & 10th Versions and am ordering the 11th for my workplace.
