Product Description
From Amazon
Compaq's server hardware ranks among the best in the business, which means it's been widely adopted into a variety of mission-critical applications. As a result, there's a large and lucrative market for technicians who can prove they know how to handle Compaq systems. That's the purpose of the Compaq Accredited Systems Engineer (ASE) rating, and Compaq ASE Certification Study Guide can help you earn yours. This book details the technologies, management skills, and Microsoft Windows integration facts you need to understand to do well on all three tests in the Compaq ASE battery.
Any book that has as much to do with hardware as this one is bound to show its age almost immediately, and indeed this book lacks detailed coverage of the latest developments in the Intel Pentium III microprocessor line. However, the authors (a team of MCSE- and ASE-certified experts) more than adequately cover the concepts and tools you need to understand the hardware. A careful editing job has resulted in a uniformly clear, didactic style that rewards the reader who is experimenting on a live system while reading along. Because this is a test-preparation aid, each chapter concludes with its most important facts bullet-pointed for easy review and a brief multiple-choice quiz. Answers to the quiz questions appear (with discussions of the correct answers) in an appendix, and you'll find a test simulator on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall
Topics covered: The published exam objectives of the three Compaq ASE exams--Compaq Systems Technologies (exam 010-397), Compaq Systems Management (010-078), and Compaq/Windows NT Integration and Performance (010-067). Hardware, networks, and operating system integration all receive coverage, with a nice balance of theory and practice all around. Coverage of Compaq Insight Manager, SmartStart, and server management technology are all particularly strong.

The material is based on older exams,

This review is from: Compaq ASE Certification Study Guide (Exams 010-397, 010-078, & 010-067) (Hardcover)
For those of you trying to save thousands of dollars by skipping ASE classes, it's not going to happen with this book. I took the Compaq Systems Technologies test today, and at least a third of the questions were not referenced in this book. ( Especially the newer technologies such as the Profusion chipset) If you could magically go back in time and take the older exams (10-056 etc.) this book may be a bit more useful...

Syngress should be embarrassed,
This review is from: Compaq ASE Certification Study Guide (Exams 010-397, 010-078, & 010-067) (Hardcover)
This book is not at all adequate. From what can figure out this book was written for the previous edition of the exams. The new exam numbers are just put on the cover to draw attention. The material is out of date. Don't buy this book.

Misleading Title - not good enough for new exams!,
This review is from: Compaq ASE Certification Study Guide (Exams 010-397, 010-078, & 010-067) (Hardcover)
I have to agree with the postings from March and April - be sure to read those reviews too. This book is well written and has a reasonable structure to it. However, it fails to focus on the newer test properly, omitting valuable and required bodies of knowledge. Since this is one of the few ASE guides out there, use it. But remember that you will have to have alot more than just this to pass the test. I would say the book covers about 75% of current exam material. With an 85% required passing score on the tests, you will be well short even if you memorize every page of this volume.
