Résumé

The first book ever to give a complete
pieture ofthe workings of a PC!

A comprehensive guide to the component systems of the PC, this
book- provides a foutidation to the understanding of previous.
eurrent aud future PC svsteius, and hom- the specification of each
component of a PC affects the merall systeni performance.

'The book oudioes each of the main PC processors and contrasts
their performitace. Il aiso examines cadi of the main interface
devices and shows hom they integrate into the main systems.

If you are an undergraduate or a professional looking for, a
comlete understanding of the internal archiiecture of the PC,
and how is changing. this hook is for you. It explains how
systems have evolved from the original PC. keeping its compat-
ibility with precious systems whilst increasing its power. IT also
provides an insight into how the PC will elolve in the future.

Kev chapters:

Motherboards, - Analyzes typical motherboards and shows
how each of the components interfaces together. and how
the architecture affects the systems performance.

0 -Memory - Shoms hom. cache meniory and DRAM memorY
interface to the system and the processor.

fb PCI bus - Discusses the fuodamentals of the PCI bus and
shows its importance in the architecture of modern PCs.
