Why Should You Have General Hardware Understanding?

Answer»

This is a fairly large topic but the essentials to know is understand the power supply wattage's and voltages:

  • Have an understanding of motherboard and CPU socket types.
  • Understand different RAM types and speeds.
  • Understand motherboard slot types (AGP, PCI, PCI-E etc..)
  • Understand HARD drive types such as IDE and SATA and understand hard drive JUMPERS and their CONFIGURATIONS.

With these skills, you need to be able to assemble a computer. I am not just talking about putting one together, but building a good one by knowing their part speeds, compatibility and possible BOTTLENECKS.
