The motherboard acts as the skeleton upon which your computer is built. It connects to your processor, your memory, your AGP card, your PCI cards, your mouse, your keyboard, your USB, and every single other component in your computer system. For this reason, it is extremely important to know both who made your motherboard, and some other specific information about it.Not all motherboards are equal, some are better designed and built than others, and many problems in a computer system (even graphics problems) can be traced back to a problem that has its roots on the motherboard. The main information that you will want to know about your motherboard is: the name of the manufacturer, the model number of the motherboard (as used by the manufacturer), the BIOS version that is on your motherboard, and the location of the motherboard manufacturer's website - in case you need to get support or updated files from them.The Motherboard ChipsetYour motherboard chipset is every bit as important as the motherboard manufacturer and model number. The motherboard chipset is the piece of technology that controls your entire computer system. While it is true that the CPU is the brains of your computer system and does all of the computations, calculations, and number crunching, the motherboard chipset is like the computer's nervous system. Nothing goes anywhere without the chipset's help and say-so. So, you can see that it is extremely vital that you are aware of who made it, what model number it is, and what the latest drivers or control software is for your particular operating system - without these, it is very likely that your computer will not work correctly.There are several manufacturers of motherboard chipsets and each of them have their advantages and disadvantages, and it is important for you to know exactly how this will effect you and your system.
