Hello all,
Still reading through Mike Meyers Sixth Edition book. Managed to get upto how to install a CPU. I find there's alot of information to take in especially with terms such as registers, mcc, binary coding etc. Is it neccessary to remember and understand all these terms?

The CPU and RAM sections are tough but I'm hoping after that it will be a bit more easier.

It is certainly a lot to take in but on the long run it would be good for your knowledge and troubleshooting skills. I personally try to make my learning and studying as fun as possible by getting as much practicals and not just the theoritical aspect alone. Keep at it and it would pay off

 

Cheers onoski for your reply and advice.

I already have some hands on experience with pc's but it's the theory side which is not easy to take in.

I try to make notes as I go on a separate notepad so I can refer to it after I have finished the book.

 

Hi tony

I to am reading this book and yes it's a lot to take in but i know it will help me in the end to get where i what to get to

So keep it up your not alone.

 

Cheers allblack.

Just wondering do you need to understand everything about regsiters and clock cycles etc? Or can you just get away with understanding a little bit about this?

 

As it is in the book it could come on in the exam but things like that did not come up on mine. As long as you understand what they mean I do not think you will need to memorise all the clock cycles.

 

It is a bit of a shock when you see how big the MM all in one book is. I originally bought the passport edition by MM which is a condensed version (674 pages ) of the all in one book and doesn't give you a heart attack when you see the size of it
