Emolevyistä

Emolevyistä, often translated as motherboard or mainboard, is the central printed circuit board in a computer. It serves as the primary hub for all other components to connect and communicate with each other. This includes the CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory (RAM), expansion cards like graphics cards, and peripheral devices.

The motherboard's design dictates the type of CPU and RAM that can be used, as well as the number and types of expansion slots available. Key components on a motherboard include the CPU socket, RAM slots, chipset, BIOS/UEFI chip, and various connectors for storage devices and peripherals. The chipset manages data flow between the CPU, memory, and other components.

Modern motherboards typically feature integrated audio and network interfaces, reducing the need for separate expansion cards. They also come in various form factors, such as ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX, which determine the physical size and the number of expansion slots. The choice of motherboard is crucial for system performance, expandability, and compatibility.
