    Parts of Computer Motherboard

    DEFINITION OF TERMS
    AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port -
    as designed as a high-speed point-to-
    point channel for attaching a video
    card to a computer system, primarily
    to assist in the acceleration of 3D
    computer graphics. It was originally
    designed as a successor to PCI-type
    connections for video cards.
    The AGP
    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    PCI - Peripheral Component


    Interconnect -a local bus standard
    developed by Intel Corporation.
    Most modern PCs include a PCI bus
    in addition to a more general ISA
    expansion bus
    The PCI
    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    RAM - Random Access Memory it’s an


    extremely fast type of computer
    memory which temporarily stores all
    of the information your PC needs
    right now and in the near future.
    The RAM and Slot
    DEFINITION OF TERMS
    ATX – Advance Technology
    Extended -The PC motherboard
    that superseded the Baby AT design.
    The ATX layout rotated the CPU and
    memory 90 degrees, allowing full-
    length expansions to be plugged into
    all sockets.
    The ATX Power Connector
    DEFINITION OF TERMS
    CMOS – Complementary Metal
    Oxide-Semi Conductor -
    Alternatively referred to as a RTC (real-
    time clock), NVRAM (non-volatile
    RAM) or CMOS RAM, CMOS is an on-
    board, battery powered semiconductor
    chip inside computers that stores
    information.
    The CMOS
    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    DRAM –Dynamic Random Access Memory


    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    IDE-Integrated Drive Electronics - is a


    standard electronic interface used
    between a computer motherboard's
    data paths or bus and the computer's
    disk storage devices.
    The IDE Slot and IDE pin/ribbon
    connector
    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    SATA – Serial Advance Technology


    Attachment - is a standard for
    connecting and transferring data from
    hard disk drives (HDDs) to computer
    systems.
    The SATA drive
    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    CPU – Central Processing Unit- is the


    electronic circuitry within a computer
    that carries out the instructions of a
    computer program by performing the
    basic arithmetic, logic, controlling and
    input/output (I/O) operations specified
    by the instructions.
    The CPU
    Other Terms

    •Slots: Slots accommodate


    hardware components using raised
    ports. The major slots present in a
    motherboard are: AGP, PCI and
    RAM.
    Other Terms

    Sockets: Sockets allow users to install


    component pieces directly into the
    motherboard. The CPU socket is the
    most notable example.
    Other Terms

    •Connections: Connections provide


    power via your power supply to your
    component parts. These connections are
    often pin connections, some of which
    are placed in raised sockets (via ATX
    connectors).
    Other Terms
    •Ports- is a connection point or
    interface between a computer and an
    external or internal device. Internal
    ports may connect such devices as
    hard drives and CD ROM or DVD
    drives; external ports may connect
    modems, printers, mice and other
    devices.
    The Ports
    Northbridge is an Intel chipset that
    communicates with the computer
    processor and controls interaction
    with memory, the Peripheral
    Component Interconnect (PCI) bus,
    Level 2 cache, and all Accelerated
    Graphics Port (AGP) activities.
    Northbridge communicates with the
    processor using the frontside bus
    (FSB).
    Northbridge/Southbridge chipset
    architecture designs, the Southbridge
    is the chip that controls all of the
    computers I/O functions, such as USB,
    audio, serial, the system BIOS, the ISA
    bus, the interrupt controller and the
    IDE channels. In other words, all of the
    functions of a processor except
    memory, PCI and AGP.
