PC Explorer 40 - Hardware Handbook £4.99 £2.99 : save £2.00 Our second PC Explorer hardware handbook contains detailed information on how every component in your PC works, what to look for when buying, how to upgrade and how to solve problems. The technology available in PC hardware develops at a phenomenal rate, and it's well-known that even if you buy a top-of-the-range computer, by the time you get it home it'll already have been superceded by something else. However, this doesn't mean that you need to go out and buy a brand new machine every six months, because by upgrading one or two key components you can make sure that your PC performs well for a long time to come. Upgrading is the focus of our second PC Explorer hardware special, in which we give you a comprehensive and straightforward introduction to every component that makes up your computer system. From the processor and motherboard inside the case, to the disk drives and webcams outside it, you'll find detailed information on how each one works, how you can get the best out of it, and what to look for when trying to upgrade. We've also included a detailed guide to building your own PC from scratch (saving you hundreds of pounds on high street prices), and produced a run down of some of the best hardware resources online. By the time you've finished reading this handbook you'll know all there is to know about PC kit - we've even included a short guide to cleaning your computer too! We hope that this hardware handbook will prove both an invaluable guide to installing hardware, and a useful reference to what makes your computer components tick.
