i know it sounds stupid but i would like some links that explain how hardware works. the basics + some advanced things.

thanks!

the basic is all there

yea i checked it out. thanks!
but they lack the info about graphic cards. plus i wanted to know what is mobo, mmx, and sse/sse2 and couldn't find the info there. is there another place i can find the info?

Well, I am kinda lazy out here......but seriously I would like some MORE insight on pixel and vertex shading.....as to how it is actually done. Both, how it is done through programming and what does the hardware do in response to those instructions.

Oh so tempting syed...

hardware works like this | = pipeline + = ALU ... = = bus

processor
Keyboard SoundCard Mouse DMA
===============================

..................|

|-PC-|-+-|MEM|WB


that's it just add about 15 more pipelines for a P3
