hardware upgrades and installation

“Though adding a new graphics card, hard drive, or other hardware to your PC is easier than it used to be, such upgrades are still a long way from being foolproof.

Working inside your computer's case requires caution. PCs are still limited by such ancient, 20th-century design constraints as IRQs and I/O addresses. And manufacturers are still treating PC users as unwitting beta testers for products they prematurely rush to store shelves. If you botch an installation because you overlook one of these factors, it can take many days and many dollars to fix. “
