This page has been provided to help shed some light on the importance of each type of device that is commonly installed in or available for today's computers.
The motherboard is the "foundation" for all internal computer circuits. It provides stability, consistant power, expandability, and configurability. As the foundation it is a common connection point for all case-bound devices. All components are inevitably linked to it either directly as in expansion cards (PCI, AGP or ISA), via ribbon cable like IDE/SCSI drives, or by plug cable as with all peripheral devices. Supplied with an onboard battery it also keeps the CMOS memory (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor - a stateless erasable/programmable memory used to store basic intrinsic functions required by devices) running after the main power has terminated. It further controls the so-called Front Side Bus speed of the computer. FSB is the voltage regulated speed of data lines (buses) measured in MHz. Our Titan and Tytannia systems run at 200/266/333MHz (AX), 400MHz (CE), and 400/533/800MHz (P4). | |||||||
