parts of the motherboard explained

The motherboard is an essential component that is responsible for the correct treatment of data is done on a computer. It 'been damaged a little damage to the motherboard, the entire system, because the motherboard has room for all installed hardware. Start from the graphics card, RAM, hard drive, optical drive, all connected in one unit with the connector on the motherboard. The following is a list of general components of the motherboard:

CPU Socket: This section is the place ofa processor with many small holes with a pin processors.
RAM Slots: Places for adding memory (RAM). For a modern motherboard, usually there are 4 slots DDR2 PC 6400 with a capacity of up to 8 GB and support for dual-channel configuration.
Power Port: Use the old type 20 +4 pin, while new species have been with 24 +4 pin. This connection provides power for the entire system, power requirements.
Serial ATA-Port: The new typeMotherboard with this port. Usually there are 4-8 and 'hard disk, used when using the SATA interface. Cable that is used is usually smaller than the IDE cable. SATA technology is developing rapidly at this time the next generation of SATA-2, with data transmission at speeds up to 3 Gb / s.
IDE port: It is found only in the older type of motherboard. It 'used to install the hard disk and optical drives, has a large width of the cable.
Chip Set: a chipcontrols the data traffic on the system. There are two types of chip-set with a different function with each other. North bridge chip set is located between the processor and RAM slots. This works like the RAM chip set and processor modules can work together (traffic data between the CPU and RAM). South Bridge chipset is on the bottom. Both the bottom of the processor or under the slot for graphics cards. Chip-set of this work the data traffic flow from the graphics card, Hard drives and other devices on the motherboard.
AGP / PCI Express Slot: Used to install the graphics card. AGP slot is rarely found in the new type, since the resulting bandwidth is not sufficient for the needs of graphics at this time. Now almost all motherboards use the PCI Express slot with a higher bandwidth. In fact, there are motherboards that have up to 4 PCI Express slot.
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) is the place to put additional cards like sound card,> LAN cards, TV tuners and more. It is working with 33 MHz frequency.
BIOS (Basic Input Output System): the form of software that is integrated on the motherboard, where the energy from the battery is charged to the motherboard. All the original configuration of the hardware that is installed can be accessed and modified by the BIOS.
Many motherboard manufacturers of other products that are full with many additional features that are increasing the compatibility of different hardware.
