What’s a good, up to date book on computer hardware?

james asked:


I was looking at ‘Upgrading and Repairing PCs (18th Edition)’ by Scott Mueller. I have the 11th edition and was thinking about the new 18th edition. But, after reading some of the more critical reviews on Amazon.com, I’m not so sure I should get it. They say the author doesn’t cover some new and commonly used advances like duel core technologies and other such things.

Has anyone read this new edition? I’m sure the new edition is great, despite not talking much about a few things. You can read the review at this link:

http://www.amazon.com/Upgrading-Repairing-PCs-18th/dp/0789736977/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211008702&sr=8-1

If you know of a better, up to date book on the subject of Computer hardware, please let me know. I am entering into computer programming and want to study hardware. I can read the 11th edition for historical value if you think there is a better book that doesn’t cover history like Scott Mueller does.

Thanks all.

 

How does a new operating system take care of unique computer drivers?

Barkley Hound asked:


Since every computer manufacture puts unique features into a computer how does the installation of a new operating system, such as Vista, keep any programs unique to the computer? Does installation of a new system actually delete everything and then install from the CD or does it save and restore modules required by the computer hardware? Is there some sort of standard? I have a Toshiba laptop. Are there program modules written by Toshiba on the computer that must stay?
An example. Toshiba has its own power module that replaces the XP power module.
Since most people are dummies they have no idea that a computer may or may not require manufacture modules. What happens when they go to Costco and buy the operating system and just follow the instructions? Will their computer fail? How do you get the required modules if the computer does not work? This is why I **** to upgrade. Is it better to just wait and buy a new computer?
