The latest version of CompTIA A+ is CompTIA A+ 2009 Edition. Two exams are necessary to be certified: CompTIA A+ Essentials, exam code 220-701; and CompTIA A+ Practical Application, exam code 220-702.

Pricing parts and building a single workstation is a good start but that isnt what you will be doing in a corporate environment. Dell will be your friend and pre-built machines are basically the norm, unless your company has no money. The only components ive ever bought for a machine are RAM, HDs, and i think one video card. |
