ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO Motherboard

If you’ve ever taken the case off of a computer, you’ve seen the one piece of equipment that ties everything together — the motherboard. A motherboard allows all the parts of your computer to receive power and communicate with one another.

Motherboards have come a long way in the­ last twenty years. The first motherboards held very few actual components. The first IBM PC motherboard had only a processor and card slots. Users plugged components like floppy drive controllers and memory into the slots.


Today, motherboards typically boast a wide variety of built-in features, and they directly affect a computer’s capabilities and potential for upgrades.
In this article, we’ll look at the general components of a motherboard.
