[3] Motherboard

A motherboard (referred to as a mobo) is the main circuit board that holds all of the internal components and allows them to interconnect together to make a computer system. The primary parts of a motherboard to create a working system are: 

  • Processor with a fan or cooler (processes the binary instructions) 
  • Motherboard (holds all the parts together and allow interconnection)
  • RAM Memory (temporarily store binary data)
  • Hard Drive or Solid State Drive (this will be used to install or boot to the operating system)
  • Graphics card (if pursuing AMD. If the CPU uses Intel and contains integrated then a graphics card will not be needed)
  • Power supply unit (to power the system)
This will allow the PC to function upon correct installation and boot into BIOS. However, there are also additional internal components that can also be added such as:
  • Audio cards
  • Network cards
  • Extra internal hard drives and solid state drives
I will be comparing the latest MSI X570 AMD Gaming Motherboard to an old generic legacy Intel board to compare the differences over the generations of computing, as-well as different sizes (known as form factors)

What is a computer? A computer , referred to sometimes as a PC . Is an electronic system device that allows a user to input, store or process data digitally in a binary format. There term computer is widely adopted for a personal computer ( PC ), but mobile devices, laptops and IoT (Internet of Things) are all different types of computer systems Take a calculator for instance, you use a calculator to perform a complex sum, such as 462*8, you enter the sum and the calculator outputs the result, in this case 462*8 would be 3,696 as a result on the calculator. A computer will perform even more complex and harder tasks in the 0s and 1s format, these complex tasks are what games, websites and other applications are built on top of. In a format that is viewable to the human eye. How does a computer process data? As an example,  I use my keyboard as I type this sentence, the computer will convert the input instructions (in binary format) and on-screen I will see the output of set instruc...

[1] Welcome to my redeveloped blog

Hello and welcome all! 😀. Thank you in advance. Wow it has been four years since I checked my blog and it peaked at 26,000 views! I have decided to go over all my old material and add another four years of resources from University level. If you're looking to go into the fields of pen testing/cyber security then follow my journey! - Everything will be added as soon as possible!
