I don't know if the books you were looking at were even made this millenium. However, that's were this shit all starts. A+ is a little more catered to industry standards where you WILL actually encounter a couple Windows 95 and 98 machines. Every once in a while I encounter a Win98 machine at work that I have to troubleshoot.
I'm actually A+ certified because the class was part of my Networking course. Looking back, it's really good to know that old shit. I thought I knew a lot before I took the class, but then I really got schooled and I realized I knew nothing.
A+ is for learning how the computer works. If you want to actually know more about the specifics of hardware (ie: "comparing a Radeon X1900XTX video card against the GeForce 7900GTX") then you should look around at enthusiast forums like HardForum.
PS: Wikipedia is actully a good reference for some materials such as a certain class of processors (
Pentium-D for example)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
