What else can I help you with?
How can you determine whether a motherboard is an AT or ATX board based on the CPU's location in relation to the expansion slots?
I found an answer that says the expansion slots are farther away from the CPU, but can't find in which form factor this is....
How can you determine whether a motherboard is an atx or btx board based on the cpu's location in relation to the expansion slots?
On an ATX motherboard, the CPU will be placed above and parallel to the expansion slots, towards the top of the case. On an AT or Baby AT motherboard, the CPU will be placed in front of the expansion slots, towards the front of the case.
What components define a system's form factor?
The power supply, the backplate, the spacing of the mounts for the motherboard, and the position of the expansion slots in relation to the CPU
The CPU the memory and the expansion slots are all connected to what component?
a the power supply b the disk drives c the heatsink d the motherboard
Is the CPU on the expansion board?
In most designs, the CPU is located on motherboard, not on an expansion card.
Explain the Five components of the mother board?
On a motherboard, a CPU socket is where the processors placed, while memory slots are used to insert RAM modules. Additionally, the chipset is an interface between the front side bus and main memory, the flash ROM is used for the system's BIOS, and expansion slots are used for additional cards that can be inserted into the motherboard.
How can you determine if a motherboard is an AT or ATX board based on the the CPU's location ns relation the the expansion slots?
According to my A+ book a CPU in a AT mobo will sit towards the front of the board and in front of the ISA slots. On an ATX mobo it will sit towards the back near the fan and to the side of the ISA slots.
How far are the pci slots from the CPU on the mother board?
It depends on the model of motherboard
How many degrees does an ATX motherboard and memory slots rotated?
On an ATX motherboard, the CPU and memory slots are rotated 90 degrees from the position on the AT mobo.-Ben H
What are the main differences between the AT and the ATX form factors?
The AT form factor measures 12" x 13.8" compared to the smaller ATX at 12" x 9.6". The power supplies for AT systems supply +5, -5, +12, and -12 volts to the motherboard and other components, and uses two power connections, the P8 connector and the P9 connector. The power supplies for ATX systems supply the same voltages plus a +3.3 volt circuit for alow-voltage CPU, and use a single power connector called a P1 connector. AT motherboards, which are no longer produced, were difficult to install, service, and upgrade and with the AT form factor the CPU was placed on the motherboard in front of the expansion slots resulting in long cards not fitting because they bump into the CPU. On an ATX motherboard, the CPU and the memory slots are rotated 90 degrees from the position on the AT motherboard, so instead of sitting in front of the expansion slots, the CPU and memory slots sit beside them allowing the use of full length expansion cards.
Is RAM located on the motherboard?
Yes, RAM is on the motherboard. Just exactly where it is depends on the motherboard form factor. Yes, RAM is on the motherboard. Just exactly where it is depends on the motherboard form factor. yes
If you are asked to identify the form factor of a motherboard, what are two criteria you can use to help you identify the board?
Look for how the expansion slots are oriented in reference to the CPU and look for the type of power connector the board is using.
