Understanding
the functions of a motherboard
All the computer components are
connected to a rectangular and flat circuit board known as motherboard. One can
consider motherboard as the heart of a computer and the CPU can be considered
as the brain. Logic board, system board, main board or simply mobo are the
other names of motherboard used by the computer technicians.
Though the motherboard does not
boost the speed of a computer, it is a very essential part as all the
components are linked together with the help of motherboard and so it allows
the computer to function.
Almost all the pc components (componenti pc) of a computer are
directly plugged to the sockets of the motherboard. Motherboard also contains
additional ports for attaching cards like graphics card, network card, audio
card etc. It also contains interfaces known as IDE, which is used for
connecting hard drives and optical drives. It also contains ports for
connecting external peripherals like monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse etc.
Sometimes motherboard contain
built in components. Examples are motherboards coming with built in soundcard,
network card or graphic card. Such built in cards are useful only for base
level operations. For operations which require a greater level pc gaming configuration (configurazione pc gaming) is
available. Computer motherboard contains a socket that accommodates the CPU.
Some motherboards can accommodate only some particular type of CPU. So before selecting
the motherboard one has to make sure whether it will be suitable for the CPU
that is going to be attached to it. There are no motherboards, which can
support all types of CPUs available in the market now.
All motherboard have a basic
input/output system that checks the hardware components like power supply unit,
hard disk etc. for malfunctions, if any. The computer boots up only after
completing this initial check. BIOS program is the initial program run by the
PC when you try to boot a PC. Even gaming computers also boots up only after
running the BIOS program.
