General Hardware Question - Newbie looking for learning resources

[Yohhan]

Does anyone know of a good beginners guide to the hardware, and its relationship with the software on a computer? I'd like to do a little reading on the subject, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good links. Thanks.
