Could be nothing, could be pretty much everything. It's impossible to say without a LOT more detail.
If you're swapping an old IDE EISA motherboard for a new SATA PCIe motherboard, you'll probably need to replace almost everything. The case will probably work, but the power supply may well not, and any cards or drives you have will almost certainly need to be replaced. It's also not likely that your memory sticks will work.
no not necessary
you would have to consider if there are other hardware upgrades that would have to be done as a result for instance if you have a motherboard with ddr ram but the new motherboard has ddr2 you would have to by new ram same with power supply and even hard drives
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the built-in system of your motherboard. It allows the user to change motherboard settings and other various settings.
Generally, no. The computer's speed is usually limited by other components (such as the processor, RAM, Graphics Card, etc.)
The motherboard holds most of the essential circuitry needed for the computer. It contains the CPU, the chipset, the buses, the memory, voltage regulators, the BIOS, the CMOS battery, and various controllers. The motherboard may or may not have integrated graphics. If not, the machine will need a separate video card.

Unless your computer case is specially manufactured for the motherboard that is installed, you can change the motherboard. You can start by getting the manufacturer and model of the current motherboard (often found to one side of the video card slot), and taking that information with you when you purchase the replacement. Any competent PC parts vendor can determine what motherboard will work as a replacement.
The anwers is not avalible!!
The motherboard is an essential piece of hardware needed to run the computer, because it contains all the components that make the computer work. Specifically, it contains slots for memory, the CPU, ports for peripherals, USB, and Firewire, among other things.
Mobo
welll, you can go into a bathroom stall and change. :)
Yes motherboard is a hardware. And all other components that are attached on motherboard are hardware.
