  With over 1 million copies in print, Peter Norton's Inside the PC, Seventh Edition addresses the needs of all users- novices to business professionals to power-users. Fully rewritten with new highly informative illustrations, this edition takes you far beyond a mere recounting of a PC's insides. Chapters on understanding bits, nybbles, and bytes, clarify the basics.
