Computers, like all electronic circuit devices are made of printed Circuit boards (electronic boards on which copper wires have been printed to form circuit paths).
The Motherboard is the main part (large circuit board) of your computer that every thing else plugs into.
It is usually a sheet of olive green or brown fiberglass with several thin gold lines on it and chips sticking off it.
By itself, the Motherboard is just an empty plate. It’s the hardware that sits on it that does the work. On it, we have the CPU, SIMM sockets, BIOS and slots.
The Motherboard provides a convenient method of inter-board connection. It is where all electronic components such as the Microprocessor, Memory chips, Interface chips, and Bus connections are assembled.
The motherboard also contains a no. of expansion slots in which Interface cards are slotted (plugged in).
The little gold lines are called Buses and act as roadways of information between all these features. The buses enable the parts to communicate and perform the functions of your computer.
