Added ATX motherboard and power illustrations. Reorganized the memory chapter so that memory map concepts are presented at one time and added NT's use of memory. Reorganized the hard drive chapter so that SCSI cables are immediately after termination issues. 10.Added a section for how to create startup disks for each operating system. I like this book.
Explanations are easy to understand.
This is the only book my teacher assigned and I think it is very good. It's easy to understand and the lab exercises are good, too. I also like the hands-on exercises she presents. Furthermore, from the parts I skimmed, it looks like Schmidt is more accurate in her technical explanations than most authors. Also, her coverage of current and emerging technology in computers is great.
