But if you realy want to spend some time just reading up on diffrent tearms like RAM and so on,
go to http://www.google.com/ type in any term you want with "what is" or "How to" in front.
A lot of times the first few links you see will link you to an article that will explain what it dose, how it works, or what it is...

This is how I do a lot of research.

This is another good place to find all kinds of usless information. http://www.howstuffworks.com/index.htm
