  2. Definitions : A motherboard is the central or primary circuit board making up a complex electronic system, such as a modern computer. It is also known as a mainboard, baseboard, system board, or, on Apple computers, a logic board, and is sometimes abbreviated as mobo.[1] A central processing unit (CPU), or sometimes simply processor, is the component in a digital computer capable of executing a program.(Knott 1974) It interprets computer program instructions and processes data. CPUs provide the fundamental digital computer trait of programmability, and are one of the necessary components found in computers of any era, along with primary storage and input/output facilities. Computer storage, computer memory, and often casually memory refer to computer components, devices and recording media that retain digital data used for computing for some interval of time. Computer storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention. It is one of the fundamental components of all modern computers, and coupled with a central processing unit (CPU), implements the basic Von Neumann computer model used since the 1940s.

  9. The Memory… Central Processing Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  10. The Brains • Intel P4 Processor • Intel 4004 Processor, the first microprocessor. Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  11. Motherboard • Chip set: A motherboard's chip set performs such vital functions as routing data from hard drive to memory to CPU, and making sure all your peripherals and expansion cards can talk to the CPU and one another. Manufacturers base motherboards around the chip sets, adding features like RAID controllers and FireWire ports to differentiate their board Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  12. Motherboard (cont) • The motherboard's main job is to hold the computer's microprocessor chip and let everything else connect to it. • Everything that runs the computer or enhances its performance is either part of the motherboard or plugs into it via a slot or port. Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  13. The form factor is just one of the many standards that apply to motherboards. Some of the other standards include: • The socket for the microprocessor determines what kind of Central Processing Unit (CPU) the motherboard uses. • The chipset is part of the motherboard's logic system and is usually made of two parts -- the northbridge and the southbridge. These two "bridges" connect the CPU to other parts of the computer. • The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) chip controls the most basic functions of the computer and performs a self-test every time you turn it on.

  14. The slots and ports found on a motherboard include: • Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)- connections for video, sound and video capture cards, as well as network cards. • Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) - dedicated port for video cards. • •Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) - interfaces for the hard drives • Universal Serial Bus or FireWire - external peripherals • Memory slots Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  15. Sockets and CPUs • The faster the processor, the faster the computer can think. • Processor fits in with inserting the CPU’s pins into the motherboard. Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  16. Chipsets • The chipset is the "glue" that connects the microprocessor to the rest of the motherboard and therefore to the rest of the computer. • On a PC, it consists of two basic parts -- the northbridge and the southbridge. • The northbridge connects directly to the processor via the front side bus (FSB). A memory controller is located on the northbridge, which gives the CPU fast access to the memory. • The southbridge is slower than the northbridge, and information from the CPU has to go through the northbridge before reaching the southbridge.

  17. RAM • The speed of the RAM connection directly controls how fast the computer can access instructions and data, and therefore has a big effect on system performance. • RAM makes up the bulk of a computer's memory. The general rule of thumb is the more RAM the computer has, the better. • Much of the memory available today is dual data rate (DDR) memory.

  30. Product Recommendations What type of user are you? Home User Business User Video Editing User What type of CPU will you need? Intel vs. AMD Processor AMD is about half the cost. Intel has many die hard fans. Much stronger market share and public image, most likely due to aggressive advertising. Central Processing Introduction Evolution Function Suggestions Parameter Brands

  31. The Motherboard Decision depends on price range, size of your computer, USB ports, FireWire, graphics cards, and memory needs. Memory usage. RAM requirements depend on applications you will be using. If you are running Windows XP, Microsoft recommends 128MB as the minimum RAM requirement. At 64MB, you may experience problems.
