A Mainboard, also known as motherboard or Hauptplatine, serves as the central nervous system of a computer, connecting and coordinating all essential components. Modern motherboards have evolved significantly from their early predecessors, supporting faster processors, larger memory capacities, and advanced gaming capabilities.
Key aspects include:
- Functions as the primary circuit board connecting all PC components
- Houses critical components like CPU socket, RAM slots, and expansion ports
- Supports both business and gaming configurations with varying specifications
- Has evolved from simple 8-bit systems to complex 64-bit architectures
- Enables differentiation between Gaming-PC and standard PC setups
