Every year, they become faster and their capabilities increase??”
yet the prices keep coming down. These days, most PCs come so loaded with
features that many people never come to grips with some of the most useful ones.
This book shows you how to make the most of your PC??™s built-in features, from
telephony to television, from networking to unbreakable encryption??”and how to go
far beyond them by adding further hardware and software to your PC.
What Does This Book Cover?
This book contains three sections of projects. Roughly speaking, the early projects are
easy, and the later projects are harder.
Some of the early projects are general and form a good basis for the other projects.
For example, the first two projects??”increasing your PC??™s memory, and getting the fastest
possible affordable Internet connection??”are ones you may want to tackle before
progressing to the other projects. But if your PC is already fully loaded and hooked
up to a blazingly fast Internet connection, you??™ll already be set to dive into the other
projects.
Most of the projects are independent, so you can tackle the projects that interest
you in any order. However, some of the projects depend on other projects. For example,
Project 14 shows you how to set up your PC for recording live audio (such as music
you play), and Project 15 shows you how to perform the recording. So if you want to
work through Project 15, you??™ll normally want to work through Project 14 first.
