CONFUSING TECH JARGON!

[mdcpka28311]

I'm a new anandtech member as well as a noob in the area of computer in terms of more advanced understanding. I'd like to learn more about processors, drivers, ram, rom, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of some down-to-basics sites that explain certain computer components and computer jargon. This forum is a great source of information but sometimes I have absolutely no clue what people are talking about when I read some forums. Any links would be appreciated. Thanks!
