Study Notes

Motherboard and Its Functions

The motherboard is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer, serving as the central hub for communication among components.
It is responsible for storing information and settings related to the system's hardware configuration.

CMOS Battery

The CMOS battery powers the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) chip, which stores system settings, including BIOS configurations and the real-time clock.
Without the CMOS battery, settings would reset to default when the computer is powered off.

Expansion and Speed

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) has a significant impact on system speed and expansion capabilities, determining how quickly the computer can process tasks and the extent of hardware upgrades possible.

Alternative Names for the Motherboard

Other terms used for the motherboard include mainboard, system board, logic board, and backplane.
