Objective:To learn about the motherboard.Warm-up:What is a hard drive? A-13 The permanent memory of a computer
Motherboards • Motherboards connect all devices in a computer • Comprised of many individual circuit traces grouped together to form busses. Device Trace Bus Device
NorthBridge(GMCH) Processor System Bus • The system bus is also called the front side bus (FSB) • The higher the FSB, the faster the machine CPU FSB
Exercise • CPU right hand • Northbridge left hand • Front Side Bus is your head
The Chipset is a combination of the North and Southbridge. • Northbridge handles high speed (i.e. CPU) • Southbridge handles slow speed (i.e. keyboard)
Buying a Motherboard • Form Factor • FSB Speed • Chipset • CPU (Central Processing Unit, the brain of the computer) Socket Type • Ram Type (Random Access Memory, the temporary memory, is volatile) • Expansion Case Motherboard

Motherboard Drawing • Write your names on the front (on blank paper). • Draw each part of the motherboard. • Label each part in pen. • Color each part. • Use the handout as reference. • First do your vocab and lab write-up!
