What types of components can connect to the motherboard?
The motherboard accommodates the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), expansion slots, heat sink and fan assembly, basic input/output system (BIOS) chip, chipset, and the circuitry that interconnects the motherboard components.
What two components must be compatible with the motherboard?
The socket and chipset on the motherboard must be compatible with the CPU. The motherboard must also accommodate the existing heat sink and fan assembly when reusing the CPU.
What is the socket type of my motherboard?
The socket type is printed on the computer’s motherboard. Knowing the CPU socket type for a computer motherboard is essential for anyone planning to upgrade the device’s central processor. CPU socket compatibility is typically listed with the computer product name and specifications in the owner’s manual.
What are the two components that must utilize the same front side bus speed?
Memory. Setting an FSB speed is related directly to the speed grade of memory a system must use. The memory bus connects the northbridge and RAM, just as the front-side bus connects the CPU and northbridge. Often, these two buses must operate at the same frequency.
When a computer is being built which three components must have the same form factor?
Terms in this set (41) When a computer is being built, which three components must have the same form factor? Case, Power Supply, Motherboard.
What else do you need with a motherboard?
Here is what you need to consider before you buy.
- Form Factor. Initially you’ll need to select a form factor.
- Processor Socket. After choosing a form factor you’ll need to choose a processor socket.
- RAM (Random Access Memory) Next up, RAM, short for Random Access Memory.
- PCI Slots.
- Features.
- SATA.
What are socket types?
Three types of sockets are supported: Stream sockets allow processes to communicate using TCP. A stream socket provides bidirectional, reliable, sequenced, and unduplicated flow of data with no record boundaries. Datagram sockets allow processes to use UDP to communicate.
What is chipset and socket in motherboard?
The chipset and socket are located on the motherboard of your computer. You don’t really see it because it is underneath the socket, and it handles communication between computer components like the CPU to the rest of the motherboard. The socket is the pin grid array (PGA) that the CPU plugs into.
What two things should be taken into consideration when buying memory?
There’s really just two components that determine the performance of a given memory kit: frequency and latency.
Where is the main memory of a computer?
Primary storage (also known as main memory ) is the component of the computer that holds data , programs and instructions that are currently in use. Primary storage is located on the motherboard . As a result, data can be read from and written to primary storage extremely quickly.
