No they are not, there are two types of commonly used motherboards. There are the ATX motherboards and the BTX motherboards.ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard form factor specification developed by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the ATX form factor. It was the first major change in desktop computer enclosure, motherboard , and power supply design in many years, improving standardization and interchangeability of parts. The specification defines the key mechanical dimensions, mounting point, I/O panel, power and connector interfaces between a computer case , a motherboard, and a power supply. The acronym BTX stands for Balanced Technology Extended, and includes various important enhancements to cases and hardware components among its specifications. The primary drivers behind the development of BTX include more efficient PC cooling (or better cooling performance, if you like) but also quietest possible operation.
Visually, the biggest change that BTX entails involves a shuffling of motherboard components that's a mirror image of typical ATX arrangements. Expansion slots and the I/O panel change places. Among other things, this has the intentional effect of putting PCI Express graphics cards in the path of the CPU fan's air stream.

When a computer is being built which three components must have the same form factor (Choose three.)?
The case, motherboard, and power supply must all be the same form factor. Obviously the motherboard and the case would have to be the same or the motherboard would never fit in the case. Then the power supply must not only fit in the case, but have the same connectors as the motherboard. Otherwise it won't work.
Where on the motherboard is video data transmitted?
motherboards do the same job but they are all different. MistroJoe
Why don't all motherboard operate at the same speed?
Because different processors and chipsets don't all support the same bus speed.
What is the use of motherboard?
The motherboard is main part of CPU. All parts do connect with motherboard.
Is the motherboard the same as the CPU?
No, they are very different. The motherboard is the board (usually green) to which all of the other components are attached. The harddrive (usually listed as C:, or local disk C, where all of the data is stored.

Does the heatsink serve the same purpose as tha fan in the BTX motherboard?
No , it servers as the fan for the CPU on the motherboard , this can be done with any motherboard
If the motherboard malfunctions can the computer be saved?
It depends on how severe the malfunction was. If the motherboard just quit working, you only need the motherboard repaired or replaced. If you replace it, be sure it has all the same compatibilities as the old one. It would be best to just get the same motherboard. But, if the motherboard catastrophically failed in a sparks-flying and smoke-puffing explosion, then it probably took some other parts with it, or the power supply failed and took the motherboard (and everything else) with it. Your best bet in this case would be to scavenge which parts still work and scrap the rest.
Does all laptops have fuse inside the motherboard?
Actually almost all of them do not have any fuses inside the motherboard.
Is the Asus z8na-d6 motherboard and the Asus z8na-d6c motherboard the same?
Not same. Z8NA-D6C is a light version, thus cheaper thah nZ8NA-D6.
Can you use ram with different speed in single motherboard at different sloti.e Ram 333mhz with 256mb and 512mb Ram with speed of 400mhz.?
Depending on what your motherboard can handle, all the RAM (regardless of clockspeed) will clock to the same speed.
Is there a motherboard that use either mac or pc?
If you MAC is old then it uses a different motherboard than a PC. These days MAC also uses intel processors so in theory you can use the same motherboard as PC but there may be problems in adding the peripherals like MAC's keyboard and mouse to the PC motherboard and vice-versa. It all depends upon what you have got.
