Description:

The best way to describe the motherboard goes along well with my creature body analogy that I used for the CPU. The CPU is the brain, and the motherboard is the jumpy system. Therefore, just as a person would want to have fast message to the body parts, you want fast statement between the parts of your computer. Fast contact isn't as important as reliable communication though. If your brain wanted to move your arm, you want to be sure the nervous system can accurately and constantly carry the signal to do that! Thus, in my opinion, the motherboard is the second most important part of the computer.
The motherboard is the circuit board to which all the other components of the computer connect in some way. The video card, sound card, IDE hard drive, etc. all plug into the motherboard's various slots and connectors. The CPU also plugs into the motherboard via a Socket or a Slot.

This Guide, which I also call just the Reference Guide for dumpy, contains comprehensive metaphors of the major parts of a modern special computer, structured based on the various PC systems and components. I have attempted to be as complete as possible without getting too far into the technical details. The intention is to provide you, the reader, with a complete kind of how the PC works and what the issues are in designing and building one, while still being understandable by someone who isn't a PC expert.

In general, my focus in writing all of the objects on this site, is to look at the PC from the perspective of the home and business PC user, as well as the "do-it-yourselfer", superstar who wants to build or upgrade his or her own machine. I wanted to explain how the PC works from the inside out, so that you will be able to discriminate not just what the various parts of the system do, but why and how they do it.

I do not currently cover all of the components in a typical PC, even if I do cover the most important ones. Coverage for more peripherals will be upcoming in the future.
