Parts of a Computer
Theory7. Motherboard
The Motherboard is the central circuit board of your computer. All of the components and peripherals plug into it.
The motherboard houses the ROM chips which store the BIOS instructions (see the 'storage devices' miniwebsite). RAM chips, the CPU, the graphics card, sound card, network interface card, hard disk and various other external ports and peripherals all attach directly to it.
The job of the motherboard is to relay information between the components and peripherals.
