CMOS or BIOS configuration settings
Maximum amount of memory that can be installed and type of connectors that will be on the motherboard
The amount of RAM it is made to hold.
The amount of gold in an Intel motherboard typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 grams. This gold is mainly used in the connectors, traces, and other components to enhance conductivity and prevent corrosion. However, the exact amount can vary based on the specific model and design of the motherboard.
ROM (Read Only Memory) Also, depending on motherboard design, RAM (Random Access Memory) and with modern computers SSDs (Solid State Drive) chips can also be located on the motherboard or plugged into it directly.
The Intel D845GLLY motherboard supports a maximum of 2GB of PC133 SDRAM, using two 1 GB modules.
RAM and the memory cache
Why dont you read the book instead of Googling =P
The maximum amount of RAM supported by a computer depends on the processor and the motherboard.
Did you intend to ask about RAM or did you actually mean ROM? A computer motherboard contains both RAM (typically between 2 and 4 GB) and a small amount of ROM. RAM = Random Access Memory. The memory used on a computer motherboard to hold programs and data while it is running. This memory is said to be 'volatile' because when the computer is switched off and there is no power available to the memory all the stored information is lost. ROM = Read Only Memory and is essentially non-volatile, that means when the power is removed the data remains as it was and can be accessed again when power is restored. Computer motherboards use ROM (strictly EPROM) to hold critical files and settings for the BIOS.
Because you might drop the drives on your motherboard while installing.
The processor size or speed does not determine how much RAM your system needs. Generally speaking, the newer the system, the more RAM you can add. The amount of RAM slots on a motherboard and the motherboard's own subsystem (the BIOS) will determine how much RAM you can add to a particular motherboard.
It depends on the motherboard. If you can find out what type of motherboard you have, you can look up what type of memory and how much of it you can install into the memory banks. Keep in mind that the operating system that you have may limit how much of the installed memory you can actually use.
