The motherboard is the "body"[citation needed] of the computer. Components directly attached to the motherboard include:

* The central processing unit (CPU) performs most of the calculations which enable a computer to function, and is sometimes referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It is usually cooled by a heat sink and fan.
* The chipset mediates communication between the CPU and the other components of the system, including main memory.
* RAM Stores all running processes (applications) and the current running OS. RAM Stands for Random Access Memory
* The BIOS includes boot firmware and power management. The Basic Input Output System tasks are handled by operating system drivers.
* Internal Buses connect the CPU to various internal components and to expansion cards for graphics and sound.

Hi, bachan1,Thanks for your nice topic.You simply forgot to mention that it is copied from "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_hardware know, posting copied topic is not really forbidden on our forums.Simply, politeness asks that you mention where it is copied from.And honesty asks that you put the copied text between quote tags.I did the quoting job for you today. Next time, I expect you to do the job by yourself.Else, we could think that you are trying to cheat with the hosting credit system, which makes some admins around here rather angry.
