Upgrading pc's for dummies - 2009-09-11
Reviewer Rating:
I love the for dummies books. This is very good, still needs to include really useful things. Like that part about removing viruses with programs, anybody can do that . I'm looking for a way to learn how to remove them by myself , manually. In overall is a good and useful book.

There is more in this book about Vista than XP...which is not what I was looking for. But the color pages with installation instructions are a big help for upgrading components.
