Talk:Motherboard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This text (now deleted --drj) is far too Intel/PC specific. The term "motherboard" isn't even specific to computers, much less PCs. It's good info, though, so I'd like to put it somewhere. Suggestions? --Lee Daniel Crocker
I moved it to PC motherboard and added some stuff about expansion card slots. --drj

[edit] PS1 mobo??
mommy The PS1 isn't what I think of when I think of motherboards... Maybe a better pic of, I dunno, some generic ATX board?
[edit] Logicboard
Used to be a specific page on a Mac's motherboard... now it redirects to this page. What the hell. A logicboard is Mac-specific, and is NOT the same thing. Can we fix this?
[edit] Dude This article Sucks
Can you please list the Parts of a motherboard?
- I'd do it, if that wasn't the same reason I looked at this page. Could someone list and describe the parts of a motherboard? Jgamekeeper 21:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
i know what you mean. I have found a good diagram on a search engine, but it took me ages to find, i would put it up although i wasn't sure about copyright. fwed66 15:32, 31 May 2006 (gmt)
- If you are looking for more information on PC motherboards, see PC motherboard. It doesn't make sense to list parts or post diagrams, because every motherboard is built and laid out differently. At the PC motherboard article, you will find a description of the connectors and other modules typically included. Aguerriero (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] what's the difference
what's the difference between a motherboard and a processor or CPU? -trent
- Well, a motherboard is a printed circuit board that has a CPU on it. The CPU is what actually does the 'work' in the machine. Huge difference.--Eddie 22:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah a motherboard is basically where you plug everything else into --Fir0002 23:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
the motherboard contains the CPU, a chipset (all other chips on the motherboard besides the CPU) and ports for various devices to plug in to. (example: RAM slots, PCI slots, USB ports)
why is it called 'mother' board and not 'father' board
[edit] More information Needed, Please expand this article
Specific parts o the motherboards, and what they do. How important a mother board is in terms of spead and stability to a pc. In general this page just needs a lot more information.
[edit] KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid - explaining what a motherboard is is fine, but the article ought to keep that short and focus on what a motherboard does
- With that in mind, since the 'Form Factor' information is on the PC_motherboard page, is it necessary to put it on this page? Likewise, most of the links should be moved there if they're not already there. Slothie 17:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A picture of boxes?
I strongly suggest that the 'Motherboards for sale' picture is removed. This blurry picture of boxes on a shelf brings absolutely no value to this article what so ever. Same for the blurry heatsink.

[edit] Merge with PC motherboard?
There's a huge overlap between these two articles... they're both focused on standardized PC motherboards anyway. Any opinions? Moxfyre 21:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- There shouldn't be so much of an overlap. I think that excessive PC stuff should be gutted out of Motherboard, which should deal with motherboards more generically and point people interested in PCs at PC motherboard for more details. I think the two articles serve different purposes and should be separate. --DanielRigal 12:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
