Summary: Great but beginning to need update
Review: For those who need or want to fine tune, or simply understand, the basic and advanced features of their PC's BIOS, this book is an invaluable guide. It has a very broad range and covers both fundamental and more advanced topics as well as issues specific to particular bios types ( AMI, PHOENIX, etc. ) and versions. This is one book you need to have as a PC technician and a valuable resource for trouble shooting and configuring your personal PC even if your not.

Summary: Great but beginning to need update
Review: This book is worth far more than is charged for it. Very well written. Probably the most-used reference book in my shop. However, it is beginning to need an update to keep up with most of the latest BIOS versions. Still a great value as the feature explainations trigger your thinking and allow you to figure out many related BIOS features in some of the newer versions. When Phil updates it again, I will buy it again.
