TYPES OF COMPUTER HARDWARE
As we already defined and briefly explained the hardware components of any computer
system, now here we will discuss in detail about different types of computer hardware as
shown in the following figure.

MOTHERBOARD
Motherboard can be defines as:
“All the physical components of computer
reside on a circuit board called the motherboard (or mainboard)”
It is the primary circuit board within a personal computer. Components connect directly or
indirectly to the motherboard. Motherboards usually contain one or more CPUs, supporting
circuitry -- usually integrated circuits (ICs) providing the interface between the CPU memory
and input/output peripheral circuits, main memory, and facilities for initial setup of the
computer immediately after being powered on. A motherboard also contains one or more
peripheral buses and physical connectors for expansion purposes. Sometimes a secondary
daughter board is connected with the motherboard to provide further expandability or to
satisfy space constraints.
