Hello,

I will like to learn more about the architecture of my pc but first of all do I know what type of pc I have Who can I find out?

Do someone know some information in general about this? Of cours I know that I can find the manuals of intel but there are so much links and I just I beginner who like to learn.

Who can help me? Thanks.

you may make yourself familiar with the Von-Neumann-Architecture.

Von Neumann Computers at least contain:

cpu (with internal address, data and signal bus / ALU and Management unit which executes all the nifty micro code)

Data bus, address bus, signal bus

memory decoders, io decoders

input/output facilities, RAM/ROm (which are connected to data bus and address bus or - as IO stuff - connected to the corresponding y(n) pin of the io decoder - or memory decoder)

Just mark, that in those bus architectures only one device at a time may write to the bus. How many are reading doesn't matter.

stay safe.

For more detailed info, google about von neumann, check the intel dox etc.

aunt edit says: smash em typos!

thanks for your answer.

I know something general facts about Von-Neuman the problem is more that I don't know who to find pratical information about an architectures in modern computers and who to work wit them.

For more detailed info, google about von neumann, check the intel dox etc.

Of course I do this before asking but the problem is more that I familiar with all general facts but not the technical details of modern computers and who the actualy works.
And I don't know what to read ??

Thanks.

What OS do you have:

Windows: Find the system properties control panel applet - Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties" (I think thats how you get there). This should say which CPU you have.

Mac - I don't know much about Mac's.

Linux / other Unix - Type 'uname -mpi' in a shell.

Once you know what platform you're running on, you should be able to start googling for info.

(Chances are its an Intel/AMD - Look at the Intel docs)

so can you somthing see from here?

for a better resalte go to

'run'
and type in
'dxdiag'

it will list your proseser and ram and all the other things you want to know.

Thanks I go to study this thinks.
