  1. Motherboard

  2. How the Motherboard works: • The motherboard organizes the flow of information from one computer component to the next. • It is in charge of allowing that flow to start with one component and end at another by traveling though the traces on the board moving at the proper speed

  3. How the Motherboard works: • The first thing a motherboard does is to take power from the power supply and provide the correct power in the form of the different voltages and send it to the components that need that particular voltage The motherboard tells the computer when to start though the electrical signal it receives from the case power on switch

  4. How the Motherboard works: • Next the motherboard starts the flow of information from the bios to check all the components on the board to make sure they are functioning properly. • Then motherboard send this information through busses. These busses are controlled by two microprocessor a Northbridge chipset and a Southbridge chipset

  5. How the Motherboard works: • The Northbridge controls the frontside bus the one that connects the CPU and the RAM and video card bus. • The Southbridge controls PCI, IDE, USB and SATA busses • The busses simply help control the flow of information

  6. How the Motherboard works: • There is a bus between each peripheral device on the computer. You can think of these busses as highways that information can travel between the different parts of the computer. The faster the highway the fast the information moves or the wider the highway the more information you can move.

  7. How the Motherboard works: Slots and ports found on the motherboard include: • Peripheral Component Interconnect(PCI)- Slots or connections for video, sound and video capture cards, as well as network cards. • Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)- A dedicated port for video cards • Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE)- Interfaces for the hard drive • Universal Serial Bus or Firewall- External peripherals • Memory slots • Peripheral Component Interconnect express (PCI-e) • Serial Advanced Technology Attachment(SATA)

  8. How the Motherboard works:

  9. Types of motherboards • Motherboards have different types but all motherboards these days are the ATX form factor but motherboard have had different ports and different slots (ISA, CPU, IDE, SATA, ARM, AGP, PCI-e, serial, LPT1, USB, MIDI and many others) as well as CPU socket types over the years on the next page

  10. How the Motherboard works: Current socket arrangements are often named for the number of pins in the PGA. Commonly used sockets are: • Sockets 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 all older processors from 286-pentium • Slot 1 and Slot A – Pentium 2 and3 and Athlon • 370 – Pentium 3 • Socket 478 - for older Pentium and Celeron processors • Socket F and J – Pentium processors • Socket 754 - for AMD Sempron and some AMD Athlon processors • Socket 939 - for newer and faster AMD Athlon processors • Socket AM2, AM2+, AM3- for the newest AMD processors • Socket 1155 and 1156 – Intel icore processors

  11. How the Motherboard works: • The newest Intel CPU does not have a PGA. It has an LGA, also known as Socket T. LGA stands for Land Grid Array. An LGA is different from a PGA in that the pins are actually part of the socket, not the CPU.

  12. How the Motherboard works: • A motherboard's memory slots directly affect what kind and how much memory is supported. Just like other components, the memory plugs into the slot via a series of pins. The memory module must have the right number of pins to fit into the slot on the motherboard. • In the earliest days of motherboards, virtually everything other than the processor came on a card that plugged into the board. Now, motherboards feature a variety of onboard accessories such as LAN support, video, sound support and RAID controllers.

  13. History: • 1975- Introduction of Apple 1, consisted of motherboard, keyboard, and a display. • 1981 IBM develops its first motherboard • 1987- Elitegroup Computer Systems Co. Ltd. became the largest supplier of motherboards in the world. • 1993- First International Computer Inc. becomes largest motherboard manufacturer in the world. • 1997- Intel Corp. plans to add to its monopoly in microprocessor by manufacturing motherboard. • 2007- AsusTek becomes the world’s largest manufacturer of motherboards.
