How MotherBoard Work

A Motherboard is at the core of every computer system.
In desktop models it usually
lines the floor of the system.
In tower and
mini-tower models, it lies along one of the sides.
A motherboard’s components and features
define a PC’s potential
and upgrade
path. Virtually every essential computer part, data bus,
or electrical subsystem attaches to
the motherboard in some way.
If the motherboard
fails, the computer will not function.


You can identify a computer motherboard
by the components that
attach to it
and the layout of its parts. The most important motherboard
component is the
microprocessor or CPU. Other significant components
include the number of memory
slots onboard, the maximum amount of
memory the board supports, available PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect) slots, the system bus or maze of wires connecting the
CPU to the PC’s numerous components,
whether the board has
integrated
audio or modem circuitry, and the range of speeds
supported by the processor.



As the motherboard works, data and timing signals transfer
from one connected
component to another by way of interconnected
leads etched into the board. These
leads are known as the system bus.
The
power supply (which also connects to themotherboard) distributes
power to system
components via the bus. The processor also
communicates with motherboard components
by sending and
receiving instructions
and data over the bus.

A motherboard is designed to take advantage
of particular technology.
For example,
certain processors function correctly only when
installed on particular motherboards
and chipsets.
You won’t be able to take
advantage of new technology
(a speedier
processor or different type of graphics, for example)
if the board installed in your computer lacks the appropriate circuitry.
