   The growth of the computer industry has been phenomenal. New computers are being designed and built every day. Thousands of computers leave factories around the world every day to be delivered to retail stores, homes, and businesses. Every day it seems that new technologies are being developed and made available to enhance the performance of our machines. New computer processing units (CPU's), memory chips, hard drives, modems, and storage devices lead the way in improvements being made.

     Have you considered upgrading your current system? Ever wonder how to upgrade it? Do you have the skill and patience necessary to do the work yourself? Should you pay someone else to do it?

It is a better guide for PC upgrading. I want to read it again

There is certainly no need to waste your time with this, unless it came to you free, or for 10c that is, you can find plenty of things more useful, especially even in magazines.

Definitely do not bother with this book.
