Components Of The Motherboard
Also called the "system board," it is the main printed
circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets
that accept additional boards. In a desktop computer, the
motherboard contains the CPU, chipset, PCI bus slots, AGP slot,
memory sockets and controller circuits for the keyboard, mouse,
disks and printer. It may also have built-in controllers for
modem, sound, display and network, obviating the need to plug in
a card. A laptop motherboard typically has all peripheral
controllers built in. See CPU, chipset, PCI, AGP and
controller.
