3. WHAT IS A MOTHER BOARD?
It is PCB[printed circuit board]
Hold components cpu,ram, connector
for i/o device, many slots.
Heart of the computer system
8. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN S-RAM & D-RAM
type of semiconductor
memory that uses bits
able latching circuitry to
store each bit.
L2 and L3 cache in a
CPU
Size 1 MB to 16 MB
Consume less power
Expensive
stores each bit of data
in a separate capacitor
within an integrated
circuit
Main memory in a
computer. EX- DDR3,
DDR2
Size 2,4,8,16 GB
Need power
cheap
S-RAM D-RAM
9. DUAL IN LINE MEMORY MODULE
168-pin DIMM, used for SDR SDRAM
240-pin DIMM, used for DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3
SDRAM and DRAM
11. BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM[BIOS]
* It manages data flow between the computer's
operating system and attached devices .
*Power On Self Test [POST]
* For enter BIOS press f8,f2,
del etc.
12. NORTH BRIDGE
*Northbridge is an Intel chipset
*communicates with processor and controls
interaction with ram, the Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) , L2 cache, and Accelerated
Graphics Port.
13. SOUTH BRIDGE
It controls components like-
*ATA Drive
*USB bus
*Serial port
*Parallel port
*Built-in audio
14. PCI -SLOTS
It is a parallel bus, synchronous to a single bus
clock
an expansion card that fits into a slot.
16. AGP-SLOT
high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a
video card
For advance graphical
works
Best gaming performance
SLI and
CROSSFIRE-X
18. CMOS BATTERY
Metal oxide semiconductor
Store BIOS setup
Long lasting up to
3-4 years
19. SATA AND PATA
Serial
600 MB/s
0.25 volts
0.25 inches
hot pluggable
Parallel
133 MB/s
5 volts
