to the man in the street: An integrated circuit is something like an eprom ( a small unit like a chunk of chocolate) that is usually soldered onto a circuit board.
A printed circuit board is a slab of board with holes in it. (like a smaller version of a pegboard) that has lines of copper or similar printed on it for the purpose of connecting all the integrated circuits and resisters together.
short answer = Size
breadboard =
insulation with holes where you mount components
and run wires to interconnect them
printed circuit board=
insulator with copper laminated. copper is etched away to leave wires .. sometimes in several lamentations components are soldered into holes drilled in the wires
Hybrid module=
usually a ceramic insulator with copper laminated wires
components in beam lead packages electron beam welded to the copper
integrated circuit =
the insulator is the substrate usually a diode done over most of the Si wafer in the first diffusion components are built by diffusing different materials in more and more layers
packages or carriers
7400 ic dip 1" x 1/2" surface mount 1/4" x 1/8" beam lead .050" x .025"
SSI MSI LSI small scale, medium scale, large scale... integration
has to do with the color of the light red light 760nm won let you work much smaller than 1 micron... blue light 350Nm maybe 0.5 micron uv perhaps .2micron
xrays gamma rays are a bit more difficult to mask and control
so electron beams are used for smaller stuff perhaps tunneling electrons can bring it down some.
perhaps an order of magnitude breakthrough will give us nanotek
A circuit board or more precisely a printed circuit board (PCB) is a mechanical structure that provides support for mounting electronics and electrical components and connecting them with conducting traces or wires. PCBs are designed to perform a specific electrical or logical function. So what and how a circuit works will depend on its design. e.g. a circuit board in a TV processes audio/video TV signals. An audio amplifier circuit board amplifies and makes audio signals louder. Similarly various circuit boards in a Personal Computer perform different functions e.g. PC mother board, TV tuner card, USB/Firewire Card, Graphics cards are all circuit boards and perform different tasks. All of them need power (typically a DC voltage) for various components and circuits to work.
You would have to look inside your computer and take the circuit board out and examine it. It should have the information on it.
This is commonly called a "Mother board"A MOTHERBOARD OR A MAINBOARD
A PCBA ("printed circuit board assembly") is the physical board that has all the chips on it.
The largest and "most important" circuit board in a computer is the so-called motherboard of the machine. It's the central or primary printed circuit board, and it is the real estate onto which the microprocessor (the "brain" of the machine) and just about everything else plugs on, in or to.
A printed circuit board. abbrev- PCB. A PCB is thin copper attached to a non-conductive material. No, a printed circuit board is not a semiconducting material. Integrated circuits are created on a substrate, usually silicon or sapphire.
Flexible printed circuits are used for assembling electronic circuits. You can purchase these from many companies such as Flexible Circuit, All Flex Inc and Strataflex.
The two top imports of Costa Rica are refined petroleum and integrated circuits. The next three largest imports are automobiles, printed circuit boards, and personal computers.
Printed Circuit Board, the circuits/wiring are printed in copper traces on an insulating board.
Components such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits are generally made by specialized contractors. Integrated circuits are generally made by the process of photolithography. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are usually manufactured by specialized contractors. The oldest technique was rouse humans to hand solder all components together.
Flexible Circuit Technologies offers a variety of products including flat flexible circuits, flexible printed circuits, and rigid flexible circuits. Flexible Circuit Technologies is an experienced supplier of electronic circuitry.

The board that holds microchips and electronic circuity is called a printed circuit board (PCB). More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board I do not agree with the above answer... i believe the correct answer you are looking for is an "adapter card".
yes
A circuit board It is a board containing devices passive and/or active that can be installed on a system to make it whole. Usualy refered a PCB OR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD.its a board of circuits
a socket that is soldered to a printed circuit board, into which a 8 pin integrated circuit package may be plugged to connect it to the circuitry.
