About the Book

This competitively priced new guide offers seven minibooks and 1,000+ pages covering every aspect of the two required A+ exams, plus customizable test-prep software on CD-ROM. Minibooks provide a thorough review of all the hardware and operating system topics tested in the exams: installation, configuration, and upgrading; diagnosing and troubleshooting; preventive maintenance; motherboards, processors, and memory; printers; networking; and operating system fundamentals. This work is published day-and-date with the CompTIA's latest revision of the A+ exams. Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
