Block diagram containing computer buses,motherboard..
- by learnerforever
Hi all,
I am trying to understand computer architecture. In particular:
- Physical view i.e. what all is packed inside the motherboard and what all outside
- Conceptual view. how processor,memory,peripherals are connected.
I am getting confused among various buses like local bus,PCI bus, SCSI bus,ISA bus,USB bus.
I am looking for block diagrams. How is the USB port connected to processor ultimately? through PCI bus etc? Why do we have so many buses? What was it like before SCSI/IDE came?
Does the diagram at :
http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/computer/pc-block-diagram.htm
look correct? It shows no connection between PCI bus and SCSI bus. Is that correct?
I would greatly appreciate any other link especially of block diagrams/anatomy and not just textual writeup.
Thanks,
