This upgrded edition contains additional problems and worked examples and ther has been an effort to elucidate certain ambiguities and obscurities that appeared in the original edition. New sections have been added to deal with the most recent technology, such as the use of optical disks in memory technology.

The fourth edition of this classic textbook continues to encompass the range of topics that comprise a typical introductory university level course in computer hardware. As with the previous edition the author writes with great clarity, and conveys both his expertise and enthusiasm for the subject. This is a great choice for adoption in an introductory hardware course in computer science and related disciplines. ( ITNow, 2006)
