PCs

[2k7zero]

My friend wants to learn more about computers and i am having a hard time explaining everything because i myself am still learning too and there is so much to explain. I am hoping you guys can direct me to somewhere that explains how a PC works, how the parts relate to each other, and all that good stuff. Now please make it easy for him to understand as much as possible. Hope i'm not asking too much.

Great book, prolly can find an older edition at a library...

Basically, use google and wiki, theres millions of sites on this...

A+ book.

Just wonder through the forums.

The internet is your best friend, google.

Hard ware manuals, books.

Ask those who know like many of us on here. You are on the right track but none of us can just give you the information.

Reading, trial and error (find older hardware and build/break(try not to)/practice, learn as you go.

Well that is what I have done and still do.

Those should be a good start, now see if you can come back here and post what the main components in a PC are and what they do,
then we'll go a bit more in depth :)
