I am currently reading up on motherboards, buses, ram, cache;s etc and how they all communicate with one another. I would appreciate if someone could maybe point me to a good diagram of this architecture. thanks in advance

Here is a diagram to get you started........good luckGoogle Image Result for http://www.build-your-own-computer.net/image-files/motherboard-diagram-01.jpg

However, I don't think I phrased myself correctly. What I want is a map.....a map of the different 'buses' on a motherboard'; I am confused as to which connects to which....for example, does the front side bus and pci bus connect directly? or does the north bridge stand between them? Is the backside bus called the same thing when it leaves L2 to connect to ram'; what connects the cpu to the graphics card....that sort of thing. Please forgive me as I am new to all of this.
