  • CPU Socket - This holds the CPU or central processing unit of the computer. A CPU does most of the heavy lifting and thinking inside of a computer.
  • RAM slots - These hold the RAM, or Random Access Memory. RAM is the workbench in your computer, holding all of your open programs for you.
  • North Bridge - This chip is usually located right beneath the CPU socket and its usual functions are to communicate effectively between the CPU, RAM, Graphics Chips, and South Bridge on your computer.
  • South Bridge - This chip handles all the communication between all the other input/output devices on your computer (USB ports, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc.) and the North Bridge
  • PCIe, PCI, AGP and ISA card slots - These slots are used to expand the capabilities of your motherboard, from TV tuners for watching TV to a better sound card for your 7.1 channel surround sound system.
  • Front Panel pin out - This is usually a group of 9 pins that connects the power and reset buttons, and the power and hard drive lights on the front of your computer to the motherboard.
  • USB and audio pin-outs - These connect to a cable that runs to the front of your computer so that you can have front facing USB and audio ports.
  • Back IO Connector - This is usually where you plug in most of your stuff on your computer and usually has your keyboard and mouse ports, USB ports, Video connector, audio jacks, network jack, among others.
  • SATA, IDE, and Floppy connectors - These connect up to the main storage devices on your computer, including your hard drive, DVD/CD drive, and of course, the floppy drive on the front of your computer.
  • BIOS - This holds the information your motherboard needs to start itself, and also keeps track of the current time.
