MoBo

What are the different types of motherboard form factors?

• DDR3, DDR4, DDR5, SSD

• Apple, Orange, Banana, Pineapple

• HDMI, VGA, USB, Ethernet

• ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX, and Extended ATX.

What are the main functions of a motherboard?

• The main functions of a motherboard are to play music, take pictures, and make phone calls

• The main functions of a motherboard include providing a platform for all the other components to connect and communicate, managing the flow of data between the CPU, RAM, and other hardware components, and providing expansion slots for additional hardware components.

• The main functions of a motherboard are to control the weather, build furniture, and drive a car

• The main functions of a motherboard are to cook food, clean the house, and do laundry

Name three components that are typically found on a motherboard.

• Hard Drive, CD Drive, and USB Ports

• Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor

• Graphics Card, Power Supply, and Cooling Fan

• CPU, RAM, and BIOS chip

How does the motherboard's form factor affect its compatibility with a CPU?

• The motherboard's form factor directly affects its compatibility with a CPU by determining the type and size of CPU socket it can accommodate.

• The motherboard's form factor affects the color of the CPU

• The motherboard's form factor has no impact on CPU compatibility

• The motherboard's form factor determines the amount of RAM the CPU can support

What is the purpose of expansion slots on a motherboard?

• Expansion slots are used for storing extra data

• Expansion slots are for connecting external hard drives

• Expansion slots on a motherboard are used to add additional components such as graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards to enhance the functionality of the computer.

• Expansion slots are used for increasing the processing speed of the computer

What is the role of the BIOS on a motherboard?

• The BIOS on a motherboard has no specific role

• The BIOS on a motherboard is only used for storing files

• The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) on a motherboard is responsible for initializing and testing the hardware components, loading the operating system, and providing a platform for the operating system and other software to communicate with the hardware.

• The BIOS on a motherboard is responsible for controlling the internet connection

What is the purpose of the Northbridge and Southbridge chips on a motherboard?

• The Northbridge chip is used for graphics processing, while the Southbridge chip is responsible for network connectivity.

• The Northbridge chip is responsible for managing the power supply to the motherboard, while the Southbridge chip handles the cooling system for the CPU.

• The Northbridge chip handles communication between the CPU, RAM, and high-speed components, while the Southbridge chip manages communication between the CPU and lower-speed peripherals such as USB, audio, and disk drives.

• The Northbridge chip handles communication between the CPU and lower-speed peripherals such as USB, audio, and disk drives, while the Southbridge chip manages communication between the CPU, RAM, and high-speed components.

What is the difference between PCI and PCIe expansion slots?

• PCIe has a slower data transfer rate compared to PCI

• The main difference is that PCIe has a faster data transfer rate compared to PCI.

• PCIe is an older technology compared to PCI

• PCIe and PCI have the same data transfer rate

How does the number of RAM slots on a motherboard affect its expandability?

• The number of RAM slots on a motherboard has no effect on its expandability

• The expandability of a motherboard is determined by the CPU, not the number of RAM slots

• Having more RAM slots on a motherboard reduces its expandability

• The more RAM slots a motherboard has, the more expandable it is as it allows for more RAM modules to be added.
