Well, I have to admit that I am not someone with a whole lot of knowledge when it comes to computer hardware. So when I started to view the lectures and read the material for this topic, I quickly realized that I knew even less than I thought! I can see that I am going to have to really go over the lectures again so as to have any idea what the difference is between a DDR and a PCI-E x16.
I'm not saying to do this, but.....I understand!
Now, that may be a little harsh, but it certainly conveys frustration succinctly. My inability to fully grasp this subject is in no way a reflection of Mr. Olsen's presentation. To the contrary, he actually shed a bit of light for me. So as with anything else, more reading, more lectures, and more reading is really what's needed for me to master, I mean understand, computer hardware.
If there is anyone else having similar feelings, I did a quick search of Youtube and was able to see a great deal of videos covering various computer subjects. Viewing these in conjunction with Mr. Olsen's lecture may help to shed even more light on, what i consider, this complicated subject. Take a few moments and check out the tutorial on how to build a computer. It not only shows you the hardware but also shows how, by building your own computer, you can also save a lot of money.
After viewing this video, I was able to visually put together how one component fits with the next component to produce the computer as a whole. I hope you can see, as I do now, how valuable this knowledge is and the money that is able to be saved.
But, actually having the nerve to try to put my own computer together? Now that can only make me want to boot my whole system!
