Like someone else here already stated, i'm no noob but I still found this to be a spectacular refresher. Thanks for the effort.

 One revision though. HDMI doesn't transmit sound, just video unless i'm mistaken.

This is fabulous!!!!

I cannot thank you enough for this post!

Way to go on the avitar!

MrMonroe, might want to add OP (original poster).

Your little list sure has grown! Again, great job on this.

^^^ HDMI transports both digital video and audio signals.

Here are some relatively good links to lists of computer and internet acronyms...

thanks 

MrMonroe:

• FSB: Front Side Bus: This reference can refer to two numbers; either the base front side bus or the rated front side bus. Base front side bus is the basic speed in mhz of your CPU. When you multiply the base FSB by the multiplier, you get the total speed of the processor. For instance, the Q6600 has a base FSB of 266mhz and a multiplier of 9, so it's total speed is 2.4ghz. Rated FSB is the speed at which your CPU communicates with your motherboard.

 how do you know what the multiplier is?

wow, that's great~ U've done this yourself? That's incredible~

This is really helpful, like a computer schoolbook for me. Honestly speaking, I was always confused by some of the threads here, can't understand what they are talking about. Thanks for your hard work~

Yes, a genius idea, this thread! You are very clever and intelligent, MrMonroe, to have put the info together in such a compact and comprehensible fashion. Thank you very much! It was a great read!

Oh, and the humour! (ex.  ISP: Internet Service Provider. They're the one's stretching you over a barrel so you can read this. or "looks like a phone jack after three kids")

Oh, and one I didn't get for a while was "Blue Screen Of Death" - at first I thought the "bs" in "BSOD" stood for "bull $#1t"
