Motherboards connect the various components of a computer system and determine the computer's capabilities. They come in different form factors and have varying components depending on the intended use of the system. Faster motherboards support higher CPU speeds and more memory through wider data buses that transfer information between components. Buses, sockets, and adapter cards are key components that expand the motherboard's capabilities by allowing additional devices to connect and communicate with the CPU and other parts. Common adapter cards include video graphics cards, sound cards, and network interface cards. User interfaces also connect through the motherboard and can be command-line based or graphical user interfaces using icons, windows, and a mouse.

6. What is it…
• A bus is a set (group) of parallel lines that information
(data, addresses, instructions, and other information)
travels on inside a computer.
• A Bus is a system that moves data from one source to
another.
• Information travels on buses as a series of electrical
pulses, each pulse representing a one bit or a zero bit

7. BUSES

8. Buses
 Channel that allows devices
inside computer to
communicate with each other.
• connects processor and RAM
• determines number of bits
transmitted at one time
• Word size is the number of
bits processor can interpret
and execute at a given time.

9. SOCKETS
 Computer sockets are the built-in interfaces on motherboard.
 that accept various hardware components.

10. ADAPTER CARDS
 Computer card is an expansion
device that provides an existing
computer with certain added
capabilities.
• What these capabilities are depends
of course on the computer card.
• Some Example (VGA, Sound,
Modem)

11. VGA
• A video card (also called a display
card, graphics card, display adapter
or graphics adapter) is an expansion
card which generates a feed of
output images to a display (such as a
computer monitor).
• Frequently, these are advertised as
discrete or dedicated graphics cards,
emphasizing the distinction between
these and integrated graphics.

12. Sound Cards
• A sound card (also known as an audio card) is an
internal expansion card that provides input and
output of audio signals to and from a computer
under control of computer programs.
• Typical uses of sound cards include providing
the audio component for multimedia applications
such as music composition, editing video or
audio, presentation, education and entertainment
(games) and video projection.

13. • Local area network card or the
LAN card is required which
enables the connection of the
computers in a network. It is a
piece of hardware which is
connected inside the PC linking the
computer network.

14. INTERFACE
 Command line Interface
 Graphical User Interface

15. CLI
CLI (Command Line
Interface):
A command-line interface (CLI), also known
as command-line user interface, console user
interface and character user interface (CUI), is a
means of interacting with a computer program
where the user (or client) issues commands to
the program in the form of successive lines of
text (command lines).

17. GUI
GUI (Graphical User Interface):
GUI also known as Graphical user
interfaces (GUIs).
 Mouse driven and icon based
 Windows
 Are allocated to the use of a particular
program or process
 Contain a title bar, menu bar and widgets

18. GUI

19. Command Line Interface Graphical User Interface
Ease
It is difficult to remember its commands. It is also
difficult to type commands for different tasks.
It is easy to use. It is very easy to remember
different sequence of activities to perform a certain
task.
Control
Users have excellent control on the file system. User have better control on the file system. But in
some cases they need to use the command line
interface to complete a task.
Comparison between CLI & GUI

20. Multitasking
Many command line interfaces are multitasking but
they don’t have the ability to display multiple tasks
on the screen at the same time.
In GUI multiple tasks can be performed at the same
time. These tasks are also displayed on screen.
GUI are faster in multitasking.
Speed
Command Line Interface is faster to perform a task. GUI is slower while performing a certain task.
Scripting
In command line interface a user can write the
commands in sequence and use them to perform a
certain task.
GUI provides shortcuts to perform task fast, but it
does not come close in comparison to what is
available through command line
