What is a Motherboard? A Motherboard is the main printend circuit (PCB) in a computer .
MOTHERBOARD DIAGRAM
PCI SLOTS It is an industry-standard, high-speed bus found nearly all desktop computer. It allows you to install a wide variety of expansion cards like Video cards, Graphic card, Sound cards, and Network cards.
SOUTHBRIDGE It provides direct memory access (DMA) it also provides a way for devices to transfer information directly to and from memory.
AGP SLOT Or Accelerated Graphics Port, it is for attaching a video card to a computer system to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics.
CPU SOCKET This allows for placing and replacing the central processing unit (CPU) without soldering.
CPU HEAT SINKS It absorbs the heat coming from you CPU then disperse the heat away from its components.
It supplies power to the CPU, Memory, Chipset, and other onboard devices. POWER CONNECTOR
It stores the data in a charge on a transistor and capacitor pair. It is a type of RAM and is volatile memory. DRAM MEMORY SLOTS
also what we call HDD the main function of hdd is to store files, and the storage capacity defines how much can be stored on a single drive. HARD DRIVE SLOTS
NORTHBRIDGE It handles the high-speed communication between the cpu, memory, and graphics card.
ROM It allows the computer to start up or regenerate each time when it is turned on. Once data is written on a ROM chip, it cannot be removed.
CONNECTORS FOR PERIPHERALS Like USB, HDMI PORTS, SERIAL PORT, ETHERNET PORTS and etc.
BACKUP BATTERY It runs the real-time clock circuit and retain configuration memory while the system is turned off. This is often called the CMOS battery or BIOS battery.
