New PC tutorial

[chaoskeeper1190]

I really think we need a new How to Build a PC tutorial 'cause this one has got to be like 4 years old or something. And many people would like more pictures because many people (including myself) find it easier to learn through visuals than just words.

I beleive they are working on updating the old one.

If you are having trouble understanding technology, www.webopedia.com is an online dictionary for anything related to electronics and technology - that may help if you dont understand some termonolgy.

The next best thing to do is to just research, google anything you are curious about. For example, if you dont understand the importance of a chipset, go to search engine and search the phrase "what is a chipset". Theres tons of other sites out there with simple explinations and tutorials.

i agree completely. I think we need to write a guide for dummies, emphasize things more, and just show more pics. Also an advanced version would be nice like inside the cpu, mobo, v-card, and inside chipset(s). We seem to be getting lots of questions such as: "is it better the 6600 with 128MB of ram or the one with the 256MB"

People seem to expect others to google, but thats no fun when u search something and you get 5000 results and most are advertisment, junk, or very unclear.

A newly updated tutorial is very near to being posted. However, it will not be heavy on the graphics with the online version. The online version will cover the procedure. The buying of components and all the after-build tweaks will be reserved for the e-book version, along with the pictures. And, finally, we are going to be releasing a book version in print. I just need to find a printing company I am happy with.
