	Motherboard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		We recommend you use ATX motherboards with ATX cases since this is the newer alternative and most modern microprocessors run on ATX motherboards.
		As PC technology grew, eventually the access speed of the memory could no longer keep pace with the increased speed of the microprocessors.
		Other items on your motherboard that you should be aware of are the small pin connectors that are used to connect the following controls and indicatory to your motherboard.

	PC motherboard
		A motherboard is a printed circuit board used in a personal computer.
		A PC motherboard allows the attachment of the CPU, graphics card, Sound card, IDE/ATA/Serial ATA Hard disk Controller, Memory (RAM), and almost all the other devices in the computer system.
		Some of the other devices found in a typical PC used to be installed on expansion cards which themselves were inserted into a PCs expansion slots: The IDE controller (to access IDE hard disks), serial ports (COM ports), parallel ports (Centronics/printer ports).

	Howstuffworks "How Motherboards Work"
		A motherboard by itself is useless, but a computer has to have one to operate.
		The motherboard's main job is to hold the computer's microprocessor chip and let everything else connect to it.
		The chipset is the "glue" that connects the microprocessor to the rest of the motherboard and therefore to the rest of the computer.

	Geek.com Guide to Building a PC - Motherbard
		For some history, old AT motherboards had a "built-in" 5-din plug keyboard connector as part of the motherboard and have risers that must be assembled for serial and parallel ports.
		To fit your motherboard into a case, you typically line up a bunch of anchor holes on the motherboard to a bunch of holes in the case.
		The motherboard may be the most important part you are buying, so make sure you get a "retail" version with a full manual (printed or on CD), or at least a board from a major name supplier whose manual you can download from their website.

	Installing a pc computer motherboard.
		Before installing a computer motherboard, ensure with the case that the motherboard is going to be installed into that it supports the form factor of your motherboard.
		As the motherboard is being placed in the computer align the holes in the motherboards with the pegs / standoffs that were attached earlier.
		Once the Motherboard has been successfully physically installed and connected into the computer, place the case back onto the computer and connect the keyboard, monitor and power to the computer (we recommend that you do not connect all the cables yet, if problems are experienced you may have to disconnect all the cables again).

		A motherboard, also known as a mainboard, logic board, or system board, and sometimes abbreviated as mobo, is the central or primary circuit board making up a complex electronic system, such as a computer.
		Motherboards are available in a variety of form factors, which usually correspond to a variety of computer case sizes.
		While most desktop computers use one of these motherboard form factors, notebook computers generally use highly integrated, customized and miniaturized motherboards designed by the manufacturers.

		While the range of motherboard brands available on the market remains extensive, the reality is that many of them are no more than a brand, created by a marketing company that buys their product from a company that actually manufactures motherboards.
		The motherboard manufacturers main contribution is the decontenting of chipset reference designs to provide the same features, but with a minimum of components while maintaining electrical integrity and functional stability.
		Motherboards are tracked in four general categories, three that reflect shipments into the distributor and system integrator channels and one for the overall OEM channel.

	PC motherboard
		The most important component on a motherboard is the chipset which consists of two components or chips known as the Northbridge and Southbridge.
		A typical motherboard of 1999 might have had one AGP slot, four PCI slots, and one (or two) ISA slots; since about 2002 the last ISA slots in new boards have been replaced with extra PCI slots.
		Generally, motherboards are air cooled with heat sinks on the larger chips such as the northbridge and CPU, and they have monitored sockets for case fans.

	Review: AOpen AX6BC Pro II Millennium Edition PC motherboard
		ATX: Intel's ATX motherboard specification improved on the old AT spec by rotating the whole arrangement 90 degrees in the case, and moving the CPU and RAM away from the expansion slots so long cards wouldn't foul them.
		Many motherboards support other FSB speeds - 75, 83, 112 and 133MHz, for example - but non-standard FSB speeds usually entail non-standard PCI bus speeds, since the PCI bus speed is set as a fraction of the FSB speed and is only likely to be the correct 33MHz when you're using an "official" FSB speed.

	Installing A New PC Motherboard: The SOS Guide
		If the old and new motherboard both use the same chipset, you may be able to simply do nothing, and Windows XP will detect the new devices on your newly-fitted motherboard and install them automatically on the first boot, but I doubt that this will apply in many cases.
		This practice makes particular sense with PC motherboards and cases, since the tolerances may be such that you have to wiggle the motherboard a bit to get them all to fit.
		The majority of motherboards are bundled with a few jumpers to change hardware settings if required, but may not include a set of stand-offs and screws, which are normally included with a new PC case.
