Identify Mainboard and Components found in it (on-board)

1. Power Connector
Is the pin that connects the mainboard to power supplay the casing. For AT mainboard connector, the power required supplay also type AT. While ATX mainboard connector, the power of his supplay must type ATX

2. Slot / Socket Processor
CPU Slot / Socket
Pentium (Classic): Socket 4/5/7
Over Pentium Drive: Socket 4/5/7
Pentium MMX: Socket 7
AMD K6 - K6-II - K6-III: Socket 7
Pentium Pro: Socket 8
Cyrix: Socket 370
Celeron: Socket 370
Celeron, Pentium II - Q III: Slot 1
Athlon: Slot A
Duron, Athlon XP: Socket A/462/754/939
Opteron: Socket 940
Xeon: Slot 2
Itanium I: Socket 418
Itanium II: Socket 611
Pentium IV: Socket 423/478 / LGA775
Pentium IV-based Xeon, Xeon MP: Socket 603

3. Memory Slot
On the mainboard, there are several common PC memory slots, namely:
a. SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) pin = 72
b. DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) pin = 168/184
c. RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) pin = 184
d. Micro-DIMM pin = 68/144/172
e. SO DIMM (for Laptop) pin = 72/144/200
f. Bateray CMOS
Serves to provide power to the mainboard in the attached configuration to recognize when the computer is turned off or has not got the power suply of power suply, one of which is for setting the clock.

4. BIOS (Basic Input Output System)
A collection of information from a mainboard form of software which contains the basic commands. BIOS serves as a means of communication between the operating system to the hardware listed / linked on the mainboard.

5. CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)
A sirkut integrated circuit (IC) or chip that holds information BIOS. Software can usually be accessed BIOS / CMOS setup as configured on the PC from booting (this circuit is a computer ROM).

6. Chipset
Is the chip - a chip that controls the flow of data between a PC subsystems, and determine what devices are supported by the mainboard mainboard tersebut.Pada there are 2 main chips:
a. Northbridge chip that controls the flow of data from the processor, main memory and the AGP port.
b. Southbridge chip which controls the flow of data from the PCI bus, hard drive interface and other external PC devices.

7. FSB
That is the speed of the system bus on the mainboard. Pentium III has a 100 or 133 MHz FSB. While the P4 has a FSB of 400 MHz (4 x 100 MHz) up to 1066MHz. AMD Duron processor has a FSB of 200 MHz (2 x 100 MHz) and 266 MHz FSB Athlon has. Clock speed of a processor is the product of a value (multiplier) with the FSB. For example, P III 800 MHz is the result of multiplying 6.5 x 8 x 133 MHz or 100 MHz.
