motherboard and processor
The motherboard consist of a large , thin , flat printed circuit board , which has lots of components , connectors and chipsets mounted on it and attached to the external case. The motherboard and processor will form the first of the major parts of a computer system.
Depending on the performance required , the motherboard and processor are usually ‘synchronized ‘ to the various processor maker like Intel and AMD. As both Intel and AMD processor manufacturer have different processor standards eg. Pentium 4 Socket 478 , LGA 775 standards for Intel and Socket 939 for the AMD standards which means to say that the motherboard and processor will have to be kept hand in hand as a set.
Therefore ,the motherboard and processor will be the most important parts of the computer system Typical current motherboard and processor configurations will be Core 2 processor from Intel and motherboard using either 965 , 945 chipset.
The latest motherboard and processor configuration can usually be updated from your computer stores in your local
neighbourhood or this motherboard and processor configuration can be found on the internet easily. By checking the latest updates from the internet or retail stores, you should be able to determine the best motherboard and processor combination pricing and budget.
Typical motherboard and processor configuration are normally sold at a lower price and as a bundle than if you were to purchase each item separately.
It is very important to pay attention to the motherboard and processor configuration to get the best performance when you want to purchase or upgrade your computer system at any time.
The motherboard will carries the processor , Ram ,chipset and the expansion slots. Motherboard also hold things like the BIOS ( Basic Input Output System ) and the CMOS battery – a coin cell that keeps an embedded Ram in the motherboard .The motherboard and processor acts like the central hub of a train station.
Most modern motherboard also have onboard sound and LAN controller , some of them even have an onboard graphics. These are normally adequate for the normal office work.
After the purchase of the motherboard and processor, you will normally proceed to the next step of looking at the Ram , Harddisk , Optical storage disk , Power supply unit or PSU and ATX casing which we will talk about later.
All this current discussion are based on building your own custom built computer system However for all OEM supplied system maker like Lenovo , Dell , HP , Compaq and so forth , usually the motherboard and processor configurations are already determined by the maker.
