Great if this is what you are looking for. Very informative and easy to understand.

An outstanding piece of work, the next best thing to having the author come and train you in person. I like technical books to have a lot of details, to be well organized, and to be clearly written and illustrated, and this one meets all of those criteria. Like the author's work on building a PC, this is the best I've seen yet on the topic in the more than 20 years I've been fiddling with computers.
