Motherboard

Motherboard is a main circuit of the Computer.We called main board, system board and logic board for the mother board. All the devices connect  to mother board and Processor, Graphic Card, Sound Card, and all card and cables connect to mother board directly.

We categorized mother board in to 2 main categorize.We can categorize motherboard by type of processor and size of the mother board.

Categorize Mother Board by type of Processor.

Lot of mother boards are used Intel Processors or some mother boards used AMD Processors.

We can categorize mother board as Intel Motherboard and AMD Motherboard.

Categorize Mother Board by size of Motherboard.

Motherboards create by using International Standard Measurements (Form Factor). Form factor is change with only the Width and Breadth of the Motherboard, Number of Slots and Number of Connectors.

We can categorize the motherboard by Form Factor as Standard ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX

Standard ATX Motherboard

This Motherboard is can to set Normal casing. This Motherboard have lot of expansion slots to add new different cards. Standard ATX motherboard was included with 4 or 5 PCI Slots, 2 or 3 PCI Express and included  with some Sata Ports. 

This motherboard is mostly used in normal computers. We can add more cards to this motherboard, because this type of motherboard have 4 or 5 PCI Slots, We can add more Graphic Cards more than mormal motherboard, because this type of motherboard have 2 or 3 PCI Slots and  W can add more Hard Dicks or DVD Drives to this type of motherboard more than normal motherboard, because this type of motherboard have more Sata Ports more than normal motherboards.

Micro ATX Motherboard

This motherboard is specially  used in Mid Tower and Mini Tower Casings. This motherboards are good for office and home use.In this motherboard, Expansion slots are less than Standard ATX motherboard. Always this motherboard has only 1 PCI Express Slot and have 4 Sata Ports.

Mini ITX Motherboard

This motherboard type is used in Very Small System Units. PCI or PCI Express slots are not in this motherboard types. But some motherboard have only PCI  slots.  We can't add any card to these motherboards and sound card, graphic cards and Network card are included in the motherboard. We can't upgrade this motherboards as other motherboards.
