I assume you're asking "how do I know what kind of motherboard I have" and not the usually much easier "which part in the computer is the motherboard" (it's almost certainly the biggest circuit board in there).

The only sure one I know of is to look for the manufacturer's name and model number silkscreened onto the board somewhere.

Alternatively, if it's hooked up and working, the power-on self-test may tell you, though sometimes these are a little more vague than might be hoped (for example, while it's likely to tell you the manufacturer and possibly the model, it may or may not specify the particular revision).

The other names of "motherboard" are main board, system board, planar board & logic board. Because, a mother board contains significant sub- system such as the process and other

components. It is the main printed circuit board. It holds many of the crucial electronics components of the system such as CPU, memory and provides connectors for other peripherals.

As far as I know, SiS, ViA and Intel all supply chipsets to the motherboard manufacturers, but they may not be the only ones.

That completely depends on the motherboard. Some of them weigh much more than others. Ones that you get in desktop computers weigh more than the ones in laptop computers, for instance. It also depends on what types and amounts of components are part of the motherboard. If you look at specs for laptops it will give you the total weight of the laptop, but not usually the weight of the motherboard itself, unless that is part of its advertising strategy. :) To look at different types of motherboards, you might want to look at newegg.com or a similar online store where you can compare specifications.

The 4 pin connector should have 4 colored wires. They are: Yellow - Left Rear Stop and Turn Signal Green - Right Rear Stop and Turn Signal White - Chassis Ground Brown - Tail / License and Running Lights If you are matching a vehicle to a trailer, be sure to verify this with a test lamp or meter. Some folks make up their own rules, and the connector could be wired differently from the standard!

A port is an I/O connector/device that allows you to interface with something outside of the computer. The most common ports are COM (Communication), Printer, USB (Universal Serial Bus), Video, Mouse, Keyboard, and Ethernet ports. A slot is where you plug in a controller. Often, the controller provides one or more ports that you can use.

Yes, as far as you consider 250 GB is high capacity.

Six screws usually attach the motherboard to the case via spacers or stand-offs.

AT power supplies typically use a mechanical button or switch to turn on. Depending on the age of the device, however, it may not be safe to activate it without a load, however. If no motherboard is attached, other devices that draw lots of power, like hard drives, should be attached.

They are the same size, but the processors are slower. ( The XT was a 16-bit 8088 computer, the AT was a 286 processor, a 386 was advanced enough to have virtual memory. The 486, even more powerfull had a built in math co-processor for the most part ).

All motherboards with the 915 chipset will have BIOSes that support LBA48 addressing. LBA48 supports a theoretical maximum of 144 petabytes (about 147,500 terabytes or 160,000,000 gigabytes). In other words, any drive you could conceivably purchase within the next 30 years (assuming harddrive space increases at its current rate) will work.

So basically in a long time period Pentium 4 is an improvement on 8085

and basically today micro code of all these processor is of 8085

PC133 is an SDRAM standard. SDRAM is a type of RAM.

Data cables (called ata cables or serial or SCSI) simply transfer data from one device to the motherboard inside or even to another device hooked up to the same cable. An example would be a cdrom drive could transfer data for listening to music via the data cable and the motherboard would process it and produce sound via speakers.

That depends on chipset. For instance Intel X58 can support up 4 ports natively + 2 for marvell controller. Server motherboards have more SATA ports available. Newer generation motherboards can support 6 and more SATA port natively.

CPU, ROM BIOS, RAM, Operating System

Every motherboard includes a battery, as well as several other components. The battery is there because it powers the computer. Most batteries have between 2 and 4 hours of life before they have to be plugged in.

Most still have 1. Some will still have 2, but they are being phased out. I have not yet seen a PATA-less motherboard, but they are definatley on the way, if not already here. That said, 4, 6 and 8 SATA ports are common, and support is good.

If you have legacy devices you need to connect, SATA->PATA devices are made, and fairly cheaply, too.

3.0 GHz Pentium 4s were manufactured for both Socket 478 and LGA775.
