Author : Robert Bruce
Publisher : O'Reilly Media; 3 edition (July 24, 2003)

PC Hardware in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference relies on an
eternal truth of the computer industry: legacy systems never die. This
book focuses on the technologies that have provided Wintel personal
computers with various capabilities over the years. Like most of its
competitors, this book addresses the PC on a subsystem level, and deals
with video cards, hard-disk interfaces, memory, and other pieces of the
componentry puzzle that hardware integrators need to figure out. The
authors do a great job of explaining the differences between (and
relative merits of) IDE and SCSI hard-drive interfaces, various video
buses, competing processors, and other technologies. They also prove
themselves adept at explaining general assembly procedures and
troubleshooting strategies.
