Much more tutoring here: http://www.ckls.org/~crippel/computerlab/tutorials/
thanks for the sites, I've seen the first one before and it was alright, but the 2nd one is really helpful, almost what I am looking for.

by any chance, do any of you know any sites that are more organized and specific like for example, they start with the motherboard and explain was CPU sockets are, then FSB's, then expansion slots....and then go over what's ideal in the present?
