Product Description

Review
This Easy Steps guide provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the generally poorly documented world of PC upgrades. This well-written primer strips away some of the mystique behind the hardware and provides clear information on the do's and don'ts of upgrading.
Beginning with an introduction of safety rules to follow and the tools you'll need, a chapter is then devoted to each of the main upgrades you're likely to encounter; from motherboard, CPU, RAM and storage devices to video cards, sound cards, and other peripherals such as DVD drives and modems. Details and diagrams help you along and handy tips in the margins provide extra tips and tricks to ensure a smooth upgrade. Terms and jargon are explained fully as are the different types of hardware you're likely to encounter. Don't know the difference between AGP and PCI? The answer is here.
Consumate upgraders will learn relatively little that is new to them, but for those inexperienced inside the case this is a valuable guide to the basics of upgrading and extending the life of your PC. Considering that many PC suppliers charge a hefty sum to do an upgrade for you, this book could save you more than time.
