As in what makes a computer or what's soldered/built into the motherboard? If it is the latter, then most motherboards consist of a standard I/O panel compromising of a sound jack, ethernet port and usb configurations. However the motherboard itself has a nothbridge, southbridge, bios, cpu socket, (Usually PCI-E or PCI) slots and various external connectors such as SATA 3/6GB/S aswell as IDE ports for the old legacy hard-drive interfaces. There's much, much more...

Which motherboards have BIOS chips?
Nearly all computers manufactured today have motherboards which use bios chips based on flash memory technology
What memory module does new motherboards today use?
I think it depends on the motherboard.
What are most popular types of motherboard?
The most popular types of motherboards in use today include the Baby AT, ATX, and Micro ATX format motherboards. There are also numerous proprietary motherboards created by large computer manufacturers such as Dell, IBM, and Compaq sold every year which do not conform to any industry standard format.
Do Today's Apple Mac computers run with the same internal hardware as Windows based PC?
This question has two different answers:YES, the processor, memory, hard drive, and displays are all standard components, and are provided by a variety of computer component manufacturers (except for the processors, which are all supplied by Intel).Yet - while many components are standard - NO, the core hardware components, like logic boards (motherboards), video cards, and other specialty components (some display connectors and displays, for example) are proprietary Apple designs.
Did Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine plans included components similar to those found in today's computers including RAM a central processing unit as well as input and output devices?
Yes, his detailed drawings and descriptions of the analytical engine include components similar to those found in todays computers
What technology standard is commonly used today for hard drives to interface with motherboards in system?
The current popular standard is the SATA (serial AT Attachment) interface.
Is there a motherboard that will work with a agp 8x and pci express 16x and also a Intel p4?
There is no such motherboard out on the market today. All of the motherboards out on the market today either have 1 AGP slot, or PCI-Express slots. None of today's motherboards are specially equipped with both types. If you do find a motherboard that has both, you will be paying extremely big bucks for it. I don't think that today's motherboards are able to handle all of the information that an AGP and a PCI-Express slot together. Then, if and when you do find a motherboard that has both of those slots, it probably won't be compatible with the socket type of the Pentium processors. You'll probably have to use one of the higher end AMD processors (i.e. AMD's Athlon 64 FX series).
Which power supply connector is the main motherboard power connector on most motherboards today?
The most common power supply connectors for motherboards will be either a 20 or 24 pin connector. Older unit used less pins like the ATX but the cure standard is the 20 or 24 pin main connector.
RAM on motherboards today is stored on?
A memory module called DIMM (dual inline memory module)
Information travels between components on the motherboard through what?
Information travels between components on the mother board through the bus.
What toxic components are used in the production on computers?
I suppose that today toxic materials are not used for computers.
How are the majority of companies today typically organized?
By departments or functional areas
