A motherboard is a liaison among all of your computer hardware. You motherboard contain data lines called buses. These lines transmit data between the processor and the special hardware. The more data lines, the faster your computer will perform. Typical computers have 32 and 64 bit buses. If you run a 64 bit processor on a 32 bit bus, it takes twice as long to transport the data making it seem slower. Buses, much like processors run at different speeds, the PCI bus runs typically at 33 MHz, whereas the ISA runs at 18, and the AGP runs at processor speed. Your system bus as a whole can be 66 or 100 MHz. The bus between your processor and RAM is typically what these numbers refer to. One word of caution on motherboards, is when you are installing them, make sure that none of the connectors are touching the metal, failure to yield to this will cause catastrophic results.
