This post might not be meant for this thread, pardon in advnace if it's not.
I just finished a computer class at school (I'm 17) and I'd really like to get into computer assembly and modification. During this class we learned just general terms, how to assemble a computer, so on so forth. After this class was over I talked whith my friend a lot about computer components, new technology, and just computers in general. I frequently skim newegg for computer parts and I've even built a computer for my friend (not same one as above). I've come to realize that I don't know nearly as much as I should for assembly of computers and for modifications. I don't know what half the abbreviations and terms even mean, let alone how that pertains to the component. I thought I had extensive knowldge, but I really don't. I didn't know, until yesterday, that having different cables on SATA drives can improve preformance (or so i'm told). I thought that when it came to CPUs and sockets, you could stick the CPU in as long as the mobo. socket was the right size. I thought thatHDD speed didn't make any difference in computing preformance...wrong. Now I realize there's so much I don't know, and I'd like to be able to know as much as I can.
However I don't know where to get started, I have no idea what to learn first. There's also still terms and abbreviations I don't know. Any help as to where I could/should get started on learning all I'd like to about computers would be great. So anybody who's willing to help either E-mail me, IM me (uberpoobhaman) or post here.
Thank's to everybody that helps
