There are several way to answer this question.

Motherboards are usually sorted by three primary differences;

- Socket type

- Size

- Ram type

Socket size corresponds with the different pin layouts found on processors (CPUs). For Intel processors (CPUs), the most common current layout of pins is LGA1155. The most popular older socket type is LGA775, and before that LGA478. There are of course, many different socket types.

Size dictates what kind of case you can put the board in, and how big the actual board is. The most common size of board, a standard sized board, is referred to as ATX. A smaller version of ATX is known as Micro ATX, and a larger version of ATX is known as XL ATX. There are of course, many different sizes of boards.

Ram type corresponds with the primary memory type found on Ram modules as well as the pin layout on the pieces. The most common type of Ram for new computers is DDR3, and for older computers is DDR2. Beyond the major types (DDR3, DDR2, DDR, etc), you have memory speeds, capacities, timings, and other aspects. There are of course, many different types of Ram.
