Good source of information needed

[Shogo]

Hi! well ive been into [H] forums for about 1year or more and always reading stuff but not posting alot. Ive read the FAQS on each section and i was wondering...

Does anyone know a source where i can get info on computers from A to Z, i mean, history of computers to..... ram timing... to psu voltage and joules to how a CPU is working (things like that).. because, its really cool to know more deeply how its working.... i would be interested, sure i know i can google it but, if someone know something that regroup all of those questions, help me

thx!

Well, you might try Wikipedia if you want really indepth. However, this isn't exactly what you're looking for. Well, I'm sure there is a great site out there somewhere that does precicely what you're looking for, I just don't know what it is right off hand. They definitely go indepth though. Sometimes, with some things, I find that it goes farther over my head with scientific terms and such than I'd ever have expected from a free encyclopedia thing...

Told you so. Try looking up anything that might have a chemical composition listed... Some of them will go so deeply into something such as chemistry it can leave one feeling kind of dizzy. However, every time I do look up something there, I learn something new...

Actually, if you come up with the right terms and learn to skim just right, it's perfect for learning quite a lot of things both history and present. For example, I started by searching for CPU and followed the link to microprocessors then x86 and actually learned a few things in some of the history lesson that followed. I actually learned of a future technology (namely Pacifica and whatever intel was calling theirs -- darn it, I like the name Pacifica better, and not just because one of my favorite anime is Scrapped Princess...)
