Motherboards

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_2.0

Yes it should. The PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with the PCI x16 1.0 and 1.1 slot motherboards. However, PCI-e 2.0 cards on 1.1 and 1.0 motherboards will not be able to run at their max capacity.

No, the CPU is the brains of the computer and interprets instructions received, equivaqlent to your brain responding to stimuli and selecting a course of action to follow. An equivalent analogy for the motherboard would be your neurological system. The motherboard, like neurotransmitters, receives and transmits messages to and from input/output sources (keyboard, mouse, etc.) to the CPU.

north and south bridge of a motherboard

its similar to an LPX motherboard .. but its smaller .. the LPX was designed to be slimline the ATX is designed to be mini ... i actually dont know im just guessing .. its a computer .. use it .. quit yapping

It varies from motherboard to motherboard. Motherboards with higher clocked RAM will tend to need higher watts and motherboards will older cpus or some of the newer quad cores will take even more watts.

It will run on 256Megabytes. But very slowly as it does a lot of disk swopping.

Memory is cheap. Get 1 Gigabyte.

I don't know if I have all of the information on how it works, but I do know some about how to do it. Well, first off, you need a PCI compatible motherboard. Second, you need 2 PCI compatible video cards. Then you stick them in the slots, then there is this thing that connects them together and that's Really all I know. For Further info, contact computer professional Logan at Logan@tiger.tv

Technically it's the other way around, everything (keyboard, monitor, printers, hard drives, etc.) are connected to the mother board.

Yes there are multiple controllers on all motherboards.

By speaking.

You cannot use a 2.0 pci express card in a pci express slot because the technology is newer.

For example:

It would be like putting a playstation 3 game into a playstation 2 console.

The one where you follow the RUURU!!

Im guessing your multiplier would be around 19x or so, you could check this by entering your BIOS at startup and checking in there.

Ususally to enter the BIOS you hit one of the following:

-Esc

-F2

-F10

-F12

-Delete

One of these usually enters the setup.

If it's a Dell computer, just about ALL the time, Dell is notorious for cracked motherboards. For all others......electrical surge frying some component, a cracked trace on the motherboard, a cracked solder joint. And just about any other time they don't know what is wrong.

what are the many files lines on the top and bottom of the motherboard surface

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the chip that actually performs the calculations that drive a computer. The motherboard is the board on which the CPU sits, and has the bus on which data is passed to the various input and output sources. Motherboards also usually contain slots for accessory cards (sometimes called daughterboards) such as a video card or network card.

The motherboard would be considered the nervous system, arteries and internal organs of a computer. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) would be considered the brain of a computer.

which motherboard is most wide style implemented

AGP or Accelerated Graphics Port succeeded PCI or Peripheral Component Interconnect as a technology to connect graphics cards to a computer's motherboard. PCI is still used to connect other devices like ethernet and sound cards.

AGP slots provide a dedicated link between the card and the CPU and thus providing faster communication between them. There are other enhancements as well. See the source for more. But the bottom line is that AGP cards perform much better.

But now AGP is getting phased in favor of PCIe or PCI Express which is even faster and can be used as the bus for all the devices in a machine.

After taking apart the laptop (see instructions at

http://www.takeitapart.net/forum/index.php/topic,5.0.html) I found there is a CMOS battery under the keyboard, but it is soldered to the motherboard. This doesn't make it useful as a reset. I did not find a jumper or any other reset switch internal to the laptop. My research seems to suggest that holding the power button for 30 seconds is supposed to reset the CMOS. Unfortunately, that did not help in my case, but may for yours.

There are different interfaces of which hard drives can be connected to the motherboard of computers.

ATA- More commonly ATA-133, the newest version not compatible with ATA-100(phased out) Typically this setup uses a Ribbon cable, however there are "Round" cables that have been made to reduce the turbulence and promote airflow inside the cases. These drives typically do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS.

SATA- Serial ATA, uses a thin small cable, typically red. This is the first version, and finding hardware that SATA I is difficult. these drives typicall do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS

SATA II - AKA SATA 3.0 GB, Uses an identical cable, but transfers data much more quickly. Most hard drives and computer accessories that use SATA are SATA II. Typically SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I. These drives are currently capable of spinning to a maximum of 10,000 RPMS

SATA III - AKA SATA 6GB/s, use a similar cable but transfers data at twice the rate of SATA II and four times the rate of SATA (first version). SATA III is also backwards compatible. In order to take full advantage of the SATA III technology it is necessary to have a SATA III motherboard, cable and HDD.

SCSI- Pronounced "SKUZZY" a high speed interface typically only used on High end workstations and servers. Has high bandwidth and uses ribbon cables similar in look to ATA, but has more pins and a different connector. Older versions for SCSI required "terminators" on the empty connectors however they are becomming less prevalent and are typically not used on the current SCSI 320 Format. These drives are typically the most expensive and rotate the fastest typically 15,000 RPM's

The IBM BIOS is the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), or firmware, of the original IBM PC. Most "PC" systems created to this very day maintain almost complete backwards-compatibility with the BIOS, in order to run older programs and legacy operating systems.

P8 and P9 power connectors

Yes. This motherboard supports the AMD Athlon 64 X2. I believe the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ is the fastest processor this board will support.

A memory module called DIMM (dual inline memory module)
