Computer Motherboards
Ask anybody about the computer he/she owns and you get to hear descriptions that go something like "a Pentium 4 2.6 GHz with 512 MB of RAM and an 80 GB hard drive". While this gives you the idea of the system, it misses a vital information - the Computer Motherboard. What makes the computer motherboard so important is the fact that all the other components are plug into the motherboard. The computer motherboard act as the central(and the largest) part of your computer. Selecting
a computer motherboard can be a difficult process since there are
so many different and confusing specifications. This page will go
through the most important features in selecting a computer motherboard
that suits your needs and budget. As you know that all other components in your system connect to the computer motherboard. This means that you must decide what type of computer you want before you can select your motherboard. When you build your own computer you must choose components that are compatible with your computer motherboard. Lets get some idea what various motherboards are compatible with or if you like to get the prices of a vast range of computer motherboards directly from our WORLD TRUSTED Merchant CLICK HERE 1. CPU There are three different types of computer motherboards that support the three main CPUs in use today. Socket
A motherboards for AMD Athlons and Durons You must buy a computer motherboard that supports the type of CPU you want. The specifications of various CPUs are given below. Here only the basic list of the various types of motherboard sockets are given for more detailed information on the types of computer motherboard sockets visit Motherboard Sockets.
2. Computer Memory There are three different computer memory types:
SD
RAM is oldest, slowest and not the cheapest memory type. This is
the only memory type found on Pentium III/Celeron computer motherboards.
If you want to build your own cheap computer then I don't recommend
this memory type. RD RAM this memory is only supported by Pentium 4 (socket 478) motherboards. RD RAM is very fast and worth getting if the price is right. Read the Computer Memory Guide to get the latest information and buying guides.
Ultra DMA 133 is the fastest while Ultra DMA 33 is the slowest. Your Hard drive must also support the transfer speed so that you get the maximum out of your computer motherboard. You can connect an Ultra DMA 33 drive to an Ultra DMA 133 computer motherboard but you can only get Ultra DMA 33 speeds. Raid hard drive interface can also be built in. This requires more than one hard drive to work and involves splitting data up over two drives that either prevents data loss due to hard drive failure or increases the read write speed by sharing the load. Raid effectively turns two drives into one fast drive or one automatically backed up drive. This is definitely not a required feature and is mostly found on servers. You can get all the up to date information along with the buying guides at Hard Disk Buying Guide.
4. USB ports If you are buying a new computer motherboard get a USB 2 compatible one. USB 2 is much faster than USB 1 and new USB devices are starting to come out now. USB 2 is fully back compatible with USB 1 so all the old stuff will still work. Also get as many USB ports as you can on your computer motherboard, 4 ports should be recommended. 5. Onboard graphics and sound Some new computer motherboards come with a built in graphics and sound capabilities. This saves you money as you do not have to spend extra to get these separate graphics and sound cards. However the built in graphics cards are slow and won't play the latest games very well. Usually built in sound is fine and definitely worth getting. If you are not the one who likes playing high end games then opt for this one. This is all you need to buy the best computer motherboard your budget wouls allow. Click Here to buy from a wide range of computer motherboards SECURELY from our WORLD TRUSTED Merchant.
