The motherboard, also known as the or mb or mobo, is the main circuit board in a computer.
The motherboard has multiple functions. It allows communication between components in the computer, such as the CPU and RAM, and other hard disks. The motherboard establishes which type of storage and memory devices, and expansion cards can be used within the particular type of computer. Additionally, the motherboard has sockets that enable it to attach to disc drives, hard drives, and ports for wires and cables.
Electricity- The motherboard dispenses electricity from the computer's power source. When a computer and its power supply are turned on, the power is sent into the motherboard. Data buses are circuit bridges that connect data sent from the power supply into the chipset. The quantity of data that the bus can handle designates what the overall speed of the motherboard will be. A higher amount of data being moved at once will result in information traveling between computer components at a faster speed. Two bridges, north, and south, link the data to their components. Electrons move through power cables and in data circuitry as the motherboard communicates and dispenses electricity.
Form Factor-The form factor is what the shape and layout of a motherboard are called. The form factor must be compatible with the other parts, including the case and the power supply, for everything to work. While all motherboards complete the same general functions as one another, different models have different components, dimensions, and ports. Motherboards come in various layouts and sizes including BTX, LPX, NLX, ATX, mini-ATX, and micro-ATX.
History-The first motherboard was called Planar breadboard and was released in 1981 by IBM, a computer hardware company. It was a very simple motherboard, only containing a CPU, RAM, and card slots. Three years after this, the IBM Personal Computer AT created a component-based PC that would become a motherboard standard. In 1995, Intel created the ATX Form Factor. This highly advanced motherboard included new dimensions and layouts. It had more room on and more opportunity to interchange different parts among it. In early 2000, form factors were bought and sold at a much higher rate, particularly the ITX models, created by VIA Technologies in 2001.
