Type of motherboards:

2 types of motherboard which is ATX and Micro ATX

ATX: has 10 hole
Micro ATX: has 8 hole

Most motherboards include, at minimum:

(CPU)-sockets (or slots) which one or more microprocessor (CPUs) are installed.
(RAM)-slots into which the system’s main memory is installed (typically in the form of DIMM
modules containing DRAM chips)
-a chipset which forms an interface between the CPU’s front-side bus, main memory, and
peripheral buses.
-non- volatile memory chips (usually Flash ROM in modern motherboards) containing the
system’s firmware or BIOS.
-a clock generator which produces the system clock signal to synchronize the various
components.
-slots for expansion cards (these interface to the system via the bus supported by the chipset).
-power connectors and circuits, which receive electrical power from the computer power supply
and distribute it to the CPU, chipset, main memory, and expansion cards.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

-a description of a class of logic machines that can execute computer programs.
-Rapidly accelerated with the popularization of the Integrated Circuit (IC)
There are 4 steps that use in CPU operation which is fetch, decode, execute, and write back
Fetch: involves retrieving an instruction (which is represent by a no. or sequence of no.)
Decode: the instruction is broke up into parts that have significance to other portion of CPU.
Execute: various portions of the CPU are connected so they can perform the desired operation.
Write back: the results of the execute step to some form of memory.

Random access memory (RAM)

-a type of computer data storage. It is a part of the engine that runs the computers.
-to temporary store the information as t is being processed. RAM memory chips come in many
different sizes and speeds.
Range in memory chip size in older computer is only 512KB-640KB meanwhile the modern
computer is 1MB-512MB
-Example of RAM are SIMM, DRAM, SRAM, SDRAM, DDR-RAM, RD-RAM, and SODIMM
