    A book/paper/article about the CPU, Chipset, NB, SB, how "far" is L1 Cache, etc.

    The idea is to understand exactly what is a CPU, to differntiate it from a chipset, and where L1/L2 sit. Do they sit next to the CPU, etc.? I was doing computers back in the FSB days, but it turns out today there is this QPI and HyperTransport world, so how does that fit in? I'm looking...

    5-5-5-15 vs. 5-5-5-18

    I currently have 4X1gb Gskill 800mhz ram. I've been given 2x2gb 800mhz ram from Adata. Now the Gskill memory according to newegg is 5-5-5-15 and the Adata is 5-5-5-18 Will I gain a perf benefit or loss by going to Adata? I see the benefit that it's just a bigger single stick than 4 smaller...

    JMicron 363, Intel ICH9R, SATA dilemna with P35

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    So I just got the motherboard, and I was wondering if SATA optical drives work at all with this? The reason I ask this is because on Newegg many people have complained about JMicron controller be faulty or something and that's why it's not working. Is the JMicron controller better than the...
