Cal -
You may want to try www.whatis.com (http://www.whatis.com) they are pretty good, lots of terms and links.

besides this great site http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif there's also anandtech.com (http://anandtech.com)

Well, there is one of my favorites:

www.pcguide.com It is an excellent place for general information about computer hardware and troubleshooting.
www.pcmechanic. Good general information about hardware. Their forum used to be great but since Nathan is not there...I don't think so.
By the way, the main manu of this forum is also excellent.
www.zdu.com It has several Pc-Hardware classed for less than $6.95 per month.
www. TomHardware.com It is the big daddy of all websites.
www.Amd.com
www.Intel.com
www.Cyrix.com
www.overclockers.com
www.Microsoft.com
Hope it helps

The site below has a couple of goodies on it too.

Computer Help Page

BTW, it seems to have dropped when you Antonio and Robert left too. Sad isn't it? Forum politics I guess.

I just found your site today (helponthe.net)it's bookmarked. the Computer Help Page is very informative, i know i HATE trying to track down those fee's/gpf's/ipf's online thru MS and you got em grouped nicely.
BTW your IE4.0/4.01 Warning to users is NOT an overreaction, i wish i had seen that before it was too late, windows doesn't always prompt you to uninstall.....
