What protect the motherboard?
The motherboard in a computer connects all the components together. A computer case protects the motherboard it is the plastic or metal that surrounds the tower. The CPU is directly attached to the motherboard, a fan and heatsync tape keep heat from damaging the board. Motherboards are often damaged by static electricity or power surges using a surge protector or uninterruptible power supply will help prevent electrical damage.
What are the devices attach to motherboard?

How do you find a video card in your computer?
Look for where you plug in your monitor after opening the case. You'll see 1 of 2 things. 1. Either a large card plugged into a slot perpendicular to the motherboard 2. A cable running from the port you plug the monitor in that connects directly to the motherboard (if this is the case you have what is called an "integrated graphics processor")
Which motherboard can replace my current one in my Dell computer?
Unfortuntely, the Dell motherboard form factors are propietary, so you'll have to buy replacement motherboards directly from dell.
When motherboard is needed?

The motherboard also distributes power to the computer and normally supplies your graphics and sound cards. Without a motherboard a computer cannot run
Does the Nehalem chipset uses two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset housing?

Your usb plug on the computer doesnt work what do you have to buy to replace it?
It depends on what type of computer you are talking about. If it is a laptop, the USB ports are often directly connected to the motherboard, and replacing the USB ports alone is very difficult. If it is a desktop PC, again it depends on whether the USB ports are directly attached to the motherboard or whether they are on a separate card. If attached directly to the motherboard it is difficult to replace. Probably your best solution is to buy a USB PCI card. http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=3ZRC&CategorySelectedId=11139&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11139,48720000&InMerch=1 You can slot this directly into a spare PCI slot on your motherboard and very often the computer will automatically install it for you.

What is the relationship between a processor and a motherboard?
The central processing unit (CPU) is plugged into the motherboard. Everything else in the computer is directly or indirectly plugged into the motherboard. There are expansion boards, for instance, which have all kinds of processors on them, but they are plugged into the motherboard meaning it is the base board that everything ultimately connects to, like the foundation of a house. This creates a connection from everything to the CPU. This is necessary because the CPU, like the motherboard, is central to the control of the computer as a whole. It ultimately controls the lowest level functions of the operating system and actually controls most things that happen in a computer. Actually, more than saying control, it is most of the work of the computer. It does the numeric operations that are what a computer, for the most part, does. CPU = brains, motherboard = connections to the periphery
