These motherboards replace the older at form and it is also smaller, it has better organization and more variety of I/O devices. The ATX motherboard supports the P1 power supply witch can be the 20 pin or the 24 pin type, it has PS/2 and USB slots and both AGP and PCI memory slots. It also has 2 IDE connectors and at least 4 SATA slots. It has a soft power button on the front of the case that you can configure so when you press that power button is going to allow the computer to shut down normally and let the operating system reboot normally, and on the back there is a power switch that when press this is going to cut all the power of the motherboard. This motherboard has better air flow and intake front vent, a back exhaust vent and a parallel air flow to the CPU. The second motherboard that is show in this video is the NLX motherboard The NLX motherboard also known as the daughter board has BUSES on the back of the motherboard.

...INTRODUCTION Computers continue to become more a part of everyday life. According to the census conducted in 2013, 86% of households in the U.S. had at least one computer, and it is likely that number has gone up in the last two years. Many families have more than one computer in the household. The cost of a computer can range from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand depending on the criteria the customer gives for the specifications of the computer. In computers there are three main options, first of which is to buy a branded computer, such as apple. The second option is to have a custom computer build by a company, such as ibuypower.com. The third option is to build your own computer with your own specifications. As far as cost goes, usually buying a branded computer is the cheapest option, and building a computer is slightly less costly than having a custom computer built. If a consumer is not saving money building their own computer, then why would you go through the hassle? There are many advantages to building you own computer, first amongst them is the consumer gets exactly what they want. Building your own computer allows flexibility that isn’t there otherwise. The consumer can adjust the parts to fit a specific budget and can build the computer with a specific goal in mind, such as a high-end gaming computer, or a family multimedia computer. When buying from a company, you get exactly what they make, there are not many variations or customizations in...

...Motherboard, Short answer, 5/14/15, Ikhlas Abdulsaid, Daniel Witzel The motherboard represents the logical foundation of the computer. In other words, everything that makes a computer a computer must be attached to the motherboard. From the CPU to storage devices, from RAM to printer ports, the motherboard provides the connections that help them work together. The motherboard is essential to computer operation in large part because of the two major buses it contains: the system bus and the I/O bus. Together, these buses carry all the information between the different parts of the computer. The location and orientation of these buses varies depending on the type of form factor used. The form factor is the design of the motherboard, which the case and power supply must comply with. Motherboards can come with integrated I/O ports; these are usually found as a rear port cluster. The motherboard also has memory slots, which enable a user to add sticks of RAM, thus increasing the computer’s total resources. Of course, the motherboard also has expansion slots most commonly used by audio and video cards, although the slots can be uti- lized by many other types of cards as well. You also find mass storage ports for hard drives, CD-ROMs, and DVD-ROMs on the motherboard. Upgrading only the motherboard will improve the performance of the computer system limitedly because if you motherboard is pumping info at 100mph and your CPU and busses only max out at 50 mph, you will need to upgrade...

...Motherboard Answer the following questions 5 April 2015 Tanweer Haroon DeJong May The major components of the motherboard are as follows: memory and their slots which is the computer’s memory (RAM) and is one of the most important parts of the system board. The number of chips depends on the type of computer and its capacity. Expansion cards are a typical component of non-integrated system boards a graphic card is a perfect example, but this can be integrated into the motherboard. CPU and slots is the central processing unit and it’s a highly prolific part of the computer and is located on the right of a motherboard and can be identified as a result of the heat sink or cooling fan directly on it. BIOS chip directs the CPU with respect to how it relates with other parts of the computer. Its basic input and output system chip or integrated circuit is fixed on the board and is easily identifiable. CMOS battery, the complementary metal oxide semiconductor is a small battery on the system board that powers the CMOS memory. Power supply and connectors is the electrical unit of the system and if it’s bad the system will not work. Keyboard connector are located on the motherboard and there are two main types. The AT has a round connecting interface into the motherboard and the PS/2 connector is rectangular in shape and smaller. Modern motherboards come with both. Mouse connector its connecting port is located on the motherboard and its interface is usually round. Floppy...

...Farhana Haque NT1110 4/21/15 Exploring the Motherboard and Busses The motherboard represents the logical foundation of the computer. Everything that makes a computer must be attached to the motherboard. The major components of a motherboard include I/O port cluster, memory slots and expansion slots, and mass storage interfaces. All of these components work together to make the computer run as efficiently as possible. The integrated I/O port cluster can be located in as many as three different places. All motherboards feature a rear port cluster, and many motherboards also have additional ports on the top of the motherboard that are routed to header cables accessible from the front and rear of the system. The most recent motherboard include serial (COM), parallel (LPT), PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard, USB 2.0, Ethernet, audio, FireWire, VGA, and HDMI ports. Integrated ports provide efficiency when it comes to performance and installment, but may provide problems when it comes to repair. Modern motherboards include two or more memory slots. Memory slots vary in design according to the type of memory the system supports. Each memory slot includes locking levers that secure memory in place. Motherboards use expansion slots to provide support for additional I/O devices and high-speed video/graphics cards. The most common expansion slots on recent systems include PCI, AGP, and PCIe. Some systems also feature AMR or CNR slots for specific purposes. Mass storage interfaces include...

...Assignment Video 04/14/14 Motherboards come in several form-factors. When building a system, it is important to know what it will be used for before purchasing. Two of the most important parts need to be considered before the system is built – the CPU and the motherboard. There are several different types of CPUs and motherboards, so care should be taken that the CPU can be seated on the motherboard. Also, think about what the computer will be used for. General users will not need a top of the line system for browsing the web, email, social networking and word processing types applications, so a “bare-bones” type of computer may be a better selection. Systems used for gaming, video editing or high end graphics will need to have other considerations such as a higher end graphics card, more RAM and better than average cooling.

...in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance. The chipset normally consists of two major microchips. These are known as the North bridge and the South Bridge. Developments in chip technologies have meant that chipset and CPU manufacturers are changing the way the chipset layout works, for example some CPU's come with a built in memory controller taking that job from the North Bridge, some chipsets have incorporated the north and south bridge in the same chip. The North Bridge Handles data for the graphics port whether that be AGP or PCI express and the main memory which includes the FSB (Front side bus). Although both chips are required for the PC to work the North Bridge handles most of the very important tasks such as the connection between the CPU and main memory bank. The South Bridge handles data from the PCI x1 slots and can also have integrated components such as Audio and/or onboard graphics. The North and South bridges will have different chip names even though they are very often paired with the same opposite bridge to come under the collective name of the chipset. Below is a diagram of the KT600 chipset from VIA technologies. This diagram shows how the components of your PC are connected to the chipset. Motherboard Bus The motherboard bus is...

Outline the computer boot process 4. State the meaning of common computer abbreviations and acronyms Content Summary Major Components in the System Unit Case A computer case is the enclosure that contains the main components of a computer. The size and shape of a computer case is usually determined by the form factor of the motherboard. In computing, "form factor" is an industry term for the size, shape and format of computer motherboards, power supplies, cases, and add-on cards. Most desktop computers have a form factor that is some variant of ATX. A case designed for an ATX motherboard and power supply may take on several external forms, such as a vertical tower (designed to sit on the floor, height > width) or a flat desktop (height < width). Computer cases usually include: sheet metal enclosures for a power supply unit and drive bays; a rear panel that can accommodate peripheral connectors protruding from the motherboard and expansion slots; a power button, a reset button, and LEDs to indicate power status as well as hard drive and network activity. Major component locations * The motherboard is usually screwed to the case along its largest face, which could be the bottom or the side of the case depending on the form factor and orientation. * Form factors such...

...mixed and matched in millions of different configurations. This allows people to customize their PC to meet their exact needs. In this paper we will discuss and identify the major components that make a computer function. The motherboard is the spine of the computer. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the main board, system board, or, on Apple computers, the logic board. It connects all the other components of a PC together. The motherboard holds the CPU, RAM modules and most of the circuitry (What are the Computer Parts?, 2008). Adapter cards also plug into your motherboard. There are two major types of motherboards: integrated and nonintegrated. On a nonintegrated system board each major assembly is installed in the computer as an expansion card (Doctor, Dulaney, & Skandier, 2007). This includes video cards, disk controllers, and other accessories. On an integrated system board most of the components are integrated into the motherboard circuitry. Most motherboards now a day are integrated. These boards were designed for simplicity. You don’t have to worry about installing extra components. The downside to integrated motherboards is if something breaks, you have to replace the whole motherboard. With nonintegrated motherboards, when something breaks, you just have to replace that part.

...printer, etc. Software is a program or set of instructions or rules that control the operation of a computer. The most obvious hardware component is the computer case. The case is where size comes into play. A bigger case allows more room for components. A bigger case is most often used for servers. For basic home computing needs, a small or mid-sized case is most common. Cases also come in many colors mainly for user preference. The most important component for a bare bones PC is the motherboard, a printed circuit board where the processing components are connected. The motherboard itself is just a piece of fiberglass. It's actually the hardware mounted on it that does all the work in the computer. The motherboard connects directly or indirectly to every other part of the computer. IT is the "heart" of your PC. It handles the CPU and all system memory. It accepts expansion devices such as sound and network cards, and modems. Without the motherboard everything is useless. The motherboard receives its power from the power supply. The power supply is the metal box usually found in a corner of the case. The power supply is visible from the back of many systems because it contains the power-cord receptacle and the cooling fan. This is what tells the PC to turn on or off. The cooling fan that is found at the power supply is used for cooling purposes. It draws cooler air into the case from the outside, expels warm air from inside, or moves air across a heatsink to cool a particular...

...logic motherboards and busses week 4 Tuesday class 10-8-2013 unit 4 The title of the videos I watched were: An overview of motherboard types and also the video motherboard expansion slots and bus speeds. The two videos covered expansion slots the setup of a motherboard as well as bus speeds. The types of typical motherboards are standard atx and micro atx there is also mini itx nano itx and pico itx these last three are smaller to fit in smaller computers. They are mainly the same having similar power as well as similar mounting but have less expansion slots then the atx versions. Atx stands for Advanced technology extended and was standerized by intel in 1995 and can added and removed as needed. Atx boards are powered by a 20 or 24 pin connector. There are over 40 different types of motherboards but these are the most common now days. Expansion gets its on clock one MHz is equal to one million cycles per second one GHz is 1000 MHz. clock speed does not necessarily equal transfer rate. Throughput varies by bus verions 133 MB/s is 32 bit at 33MHz 266 MB/s is 32 bit at 66MHz or 64 bit at 33MHz and 533 MB/s is 64 bit at 66 MHz. These videos taught me a lot as I did not know any of this info. The videos taught me that although the cpu does most of the processing the motherboard handls thing such as memory espansion slots for grap hics video and so forth.
