14-3As this is clearly off topic for programmers, I will keep this brief. Most
books on this subject are either aimed at the professional and contain
reams of specifics about chips and pin-outs etc. or they are so simple
that anyone who needs something that simple should not even dream of
opening their computer. In my opinion, this book hits the happy medium. If
you are capable of doing your own upgrading and maintenance then this
book is pitched at just about the right level. The author writes in a
style that demonstrates that he does know what he is talking about and
understands the trials and tribulations that beset those who tinker
occasionally with their machines.
Definitely one of the better books on this subject.
