another term I don't know and on and on.......

Answer 1

You have to remember that google is your best friend, when you see terms like PCI-e or Frontsidebus, your best bet to understanding what they mean is to google it. Google can search through forums and yahoo answers where your question you typed in may have been asked by someone else. YOu should find everything your looking for from google.
Good luck.
