hey /g/,
i'm getting into computers and im fucking lost.
i'm having a real hard time wrapping my mind around what buses actually are, where they are, what they do, ect. i know this is a bare bones knowledge of computers, but i feel so stupid for not being able to understand this simple concept.
> What the heck is a bus?
> North side? South side?
> Hyperthreading, and Hyper Transport. What are they?
> I have heard that AMD does not have a NSB. Is this true?
> How do level caches fit into all of this? Do they?
> How, in the different architectures, does information travel through these buses? Is it half-duplex? Full duplex? What exactly is going on?
If this kind of question isn't allowed here let me know and I'll slink off somewhere else.
