Can anyone recommend a really basic intro to microprocessors? For someone who hasn't done a CS degree or studied hardware at all. This article seems very readable, but I feel like I'm missing the basics.
This is the basic intro to current used cpu's and I must say this is the best short description of how a cpu works. Determine what you want to do and try to tweak it to your performance level and learn on the way. Don't forget checking your motherboard manual and tuning your extra devices to it.
