MotherboardA motherboard is the central printed circuit board.

The motherboard is the most essential component in a personal computer.

Every motherboard has a series of basic components that make them all perform their functions

Many data cables exist inside your computer, allowing information to travel from one device to other.

You can find two different types of data cables, the SATA and the ATA.

The data cables are connected to the motherboard and to the devices.
