Understanding and Function of Motherboard - Hardware or in the Indonesian language is often called computer hardware is a computer part whose form can be seen and touched. Hardware can also be interpreted sebgai tool that can receive and process data. Currently, a lot of hardware that works on the computer, both the main hardware and additional hardware. One of the hardware that will be discussed is the Motherboard (board iduk) and its development history.
Understanding Motherboard
Motherboard is a computer hardware that has the main and most vital role. Where in the way it works, the motherboard assumes the task of managing the technical issues surrounding the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), Chipset (input-output connection controller), RAM (temporary data storage memory), VGA card (graphic data storage memory) , processor, and Additional card (PCI, ISA).
Motherboard Function
Motherboard serves as the center of all computer hardware so that all computer hardware can be connected between one component with another component. For example: processor, Memory (RAM), hard disk, optical drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor and all computer hardware installed and connected using motherboard.
History of motherboard development
The motherboard was first made in 1977, by Apple for its Apple II. For information, once computer components such as CPU and memory are placed on a single card, and connected by cables. The look is very complicated.
Due to the hassle of connecting one PC component with another component, the computer product developers had an idea to create a special place to store various computer peripherals. A wide board of various slots was created as a place to plug in the PC components. The board is named after the motherboard.
In the early developers of the motherboard are the company Micronics, Mylex, AMI, Huppauge, Orchid Technology, Elitegroup, and DFI. In addition, there are still some other moherboard manufacturers from Taiwan.
Between 1980 and 1990, the incorporation of several peripheral functions into the motherboard pushed motherboard imagery into an increasingly economical form. The first integration is to combine keyboards, mouse, and floopy drive slots, as well as serial and parallel ports into the motherboard.
If you notice, until now the standard form of the motherboard was still changing. The first standards used are used PC / XT, and used IBM. After that, reappear AT (Advance Technology). After AT, there is a new standard that is still used, namely ATX (Advance Technology Extension). ATX standard is then modified into Mini ATX and Micro ATX.
Currently, Intel also issued a standard BTX (Balanced Technology Extension). Unfortunately, the market is not yet interested in using it. VIA computer manufacturer also issued its own standard, which is mini ITX.
Changes in motherboard design and technology continues to evolve. In the early 2000s, integration expanded. Motherboard now features sound and VGA that is directly attached to the body, other terms onboard. Other features that can now be obtained from several motherboards in the form of USB connectivity, FireWire, and LAN.
There are several companies that produce motherboards, among others:
Asus
Asus's name may already sound very familiar to our ears, Asus's company was created in 1989, when four computer engineers, Wayne Hsieh, Ted Hsu, MT Liao and TH Tung intend to set up a new company to advance the IT industry in Taiwan. ASUS is considered the world's largest manufacturer, when it comes to motherboards, and one of the best motherboard brands for gaming. Asustek, apart from making motherboards, also makes many other consumer electronics PCs, which are sold worldwide. ASUS has been linked with Intel that can be traced back to the day from the release of CPU 486. Therefore, ASUS received samples before Intel CPU, before other manufacturers. ASUS is famous as one of the best motherboard brands.
Gygabyte
GIGABYTE Founded in 1986, headquartered in Taiwan, Taiwan, is known as the industry's leading IT brand. GIGABYTE started from development and research and has since become one of the market leaders for motherboards and graphics cards. Gigabyte motherboards always get good appreciation from different computer supply sites. Overall customer satisfaction for Gigabyte motherboards is positive, and they have a solid level of customer satisfaction. Also, they are considered top-notch, when it comes to keeping up with new technology.
MSI
the company was founded in 1986, and has emerged as one of the best motherboard brands of 2010. Many new models of MSI motherboards are well designed products, which can be compared with brands like ASUS and Gigabyte, MSI motherboards however cost less. The board has also been shipping with a good suite of software. This brand is not very well know, but seems to be a reliable one, and good value for money.
Intel
Intel Corporation founded 1968 is a multinational company based in the United States, Intel may already be familiar as a maker of one of the best computer processors, but many people do not know that they also make world-class motherboards. When it comes to manufacturing motherboards, Intel has different benefits, because it has knowledge in processor and chipset specifications, which helps to make motherboards a stable and high performance. However, the weakness of Intel motherboards, they are only compatible with Intel processors.
maybe so much that I can say about the history of the motherboard thanks.
