Technical Sites .. Articles

Kali · 05-12-2002 1:12am #1

Right a somewhat definitive list of those sites that offer technical articles seems to be needed.

So add your urls below.. make sure to add a blurb about what the article or site mostly covers (otherwise the whole point of this is useless).

And please stick to insightful and technical based articles & sites... pieces that explain clearly how and why something works or the technology behind it.

Try not to post basic tutorials and how-tos here... its pretty easy to google for that.

Also keep review sites such as tomshardware, anandtech etc. out of here unless you are posting a specifc item they've covered.

Right I'll start off with the two sites that I mainly stick to, and I get most information from:

http://arstechnica.com/paedia/index.html

Pretty much the ultimate knowledge base for PC technology.. There isn't a huge amount of articles but those up there are extremely well written and ver insightful.
And if you haven't read their Emotion engine piece on the PS2 then you don't really know **** about it

http://www.aceshardware.com/docs/articles.jsp

In-depth articles on processors, memory, the and one of the best early Pentium 4 articles I've read.
Not up-dated very often and these days its mostly cpu/processing based articles, slightly less-technical and shorter than the typical Ars articles, but easier to read and understand.

- by the way if anyone knows specific articles (or pdfs) on specific technical standards (not RFCs now).. throw up a link, and I'd love to read up on any A/V based tech. (SACD/DVD/Plasma screens/Digital Cameras etc.)

I have too many links to post specific links re hardware.
A site similiar to this one, I have used them myself many times for technical issues, sometimes a good idea to post your problem in a few places.
http://www.sysopt.com
http://www.tek-tips.com
http://www.tekguide.net

Chips, Mobos, Chip designs etc
http://www.chipcenter.com
Thats it,
still you can't beat Toms........

Also http://www.hardware-one.com/ is ok.

I find this to be a great site with a balance of review of most things in computers.

FYI: Its really just a portal site. But good none the less.
