A. Parts of computer Motherboard and their Function

Question 1

This module has 240 pins per DIMM and a capacity of up to 4GB. It replaced DDR 1 in 2005 and was popular for a few years. It supported the Intel LGA 775 and the AMD Socket AM2.

Answer 1

DDR2

Question 2

The first double data rate memory had 184 pins. It was popular from the late 20th century to 2005. Its maximum capacity was 1GB, and it went into the AMD Socket A and 939, Intel Socket 478 and LGA 775, and Socket 756.

Answer 2

DDR

Question 3

This module had a 64-bit bus and needed 3.3V to work. What’s important is that it had 168 pins DIMM, so the (Blank) slot had 168 empty pin sockets.

Answer 3

SDRAM

Question 4

Answer 4

Memory Slot

Question 5

What does LGA stands for?

Answer 5

Land Grid Array

Question 6

What Does PGA stands for?

Answer 6

Pin Grid Array

Question 7

Places the pins on the processor, which you then insert into a socket with appropriately placed holes.

Answer 7

Pin Grid Array (PGA)

Question 8

Consists of a socket with pins that you place the processor on.

Answer 8

Land Grid Array (LGA)

Question 9

It is considered an integral part of your Computer. It is the brain of the computer that responsible for fetching, decoding, and executing program instructions as well as performing mathematical and logical calculations

Answer 9

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Question 10

Physically, this module has a similar shape to its predecessor. It has 240 pins, but a higher frequency range and a capacity of up to 8GB. The RAM sockets that can support it include the LGA 775, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, and 2011, as well as the AMD AM1, 3, 3+, FM1, FM2, and FM2+.

Answer 10

DDR3

stored.

Answer 12

BIOS CHIP

Question 13

What does the “CMOS” in CMOS Battery stands for?

Answer 13

Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor

Question 14

These are the slots that allow inserting expansion cards such as graphics card, sound card, LAN cardor several other functional computer parts.

Answer 14

Expansion Busses

Question 15

It is an interface on the motherboard that allows you to put in a device that requires power, famous for coming with the first Intel Pentiums in 1993.

Answer 15

PCI Slots

Question 16

What does PCI stands for?

Answer 16

Peripheral Component Interconnect

Question 17

These are the standard interface for connecting a motherboard to storage devices such as hard drives and CD-ROM/DVD drives

Answer 17

IDE/SATA Slot

Question 18

2 Types of Computer Chip-sets

Answer 18

The NorthBridge & The SouthBridge

Question 19

It is in charge of controlling transfers between the processor and the RAM, which is why it is located physically near the processor. It is sometimes called the GMCH, for Graphic and Memory Controller Hub.

Answer 19

NorthBridge

Question 20

This Handles communications between slower peripheral devices such as USB, audio, serial, the system BIOS, the ISA bus, the interrupt controller and the IDE channels. It is also called the ICH (I/O Controller Hub)

Answer 20

SouthBridge
