Posted October 8, 2015 That's pretty much impossible. You can write hundreds of pages just on one component. If you went into networking stuff, you're looking at entire books for one component.

Posted October 8, 2015 it doesnt work this way. This is the best way to say it. You could ask most of us a couple thousand questions and only then would you understand how far our knowledge goes.

Posted October 8, 2015 Everything! Jk. I'm trying to learn more about this stuff and I figure this is a good place to start, so help a kid out! I think you're going to need to ask some more specific questions. "Explain to me everything about everything!" is not only going to be too big an answer, it's hard to figure out where to even start.

Posted October 8, 2015 Pins determine the size of RAM, ghz is the measurement of speed on computer parts(2.4 is average for prebuilt machines), there are ATX, E-ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboard sizes, SATA is the standard storage to motherboard cable type, SSD > HDD, 1 thread to 1 core is normal, hyperthreading = 2 threads to 1 core which means the system sees 2 cores instead of 1, cores allow you to multitask, sockets are what the CPU goes in on the motherboard, they must match to be compatible, PSUs provide power for the system, you need more W in the PSU than the total the system takes up, graphics cards are good and plug into PCIex16 most of time on your motherboard. That about does it. Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common! Spoiler Q: Do I have a virus?! A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not. Q: What email/VPN should I use? A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way) Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???.... A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself. Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z? A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself. Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error? A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
