One of the most prominent features of windows 8.1 is, there is a start button on the taskbar menu, where windows 8 is not equipped with this feature. But still, the installation process is not much different, so you do not have to worry. Check out the following windows 8 installation steps:

When unpacking the contents of your computer, then you will find a large circuit board with a variety of computer components that are attached to it, the board is called the motherboard. So, what are the functions of this motherboard so it is said to be the backbone of a computer? And what are the types of motherboards?

Here is an explanation of the definition of motherboard and its functions and types of motherboards:


The motherboard (or so-called mainboard, systemboard, logic board, baseboard or mobo) is a printed circuit board (PCB) that acts as a backbone on a computer, because the motherboard provides an electrical connectivity called a bus so that all external components and devices on the motherboard it can connect.

On this motherboard all the components of the computer installed, such as CPU, RAM slot, PCI slot and USB port. In addition the motherboard also has the ability to control devices such as hard drives, DVD drives, keyboards and mice. The point is this motherboard that makes all components of your computer able to cooperate with each other.


The role of the motherboard as a computer spine is not unreasonable, because the motherboard has a variety of functions. In addition to its main function is as a medium that holds the components on the computer, the motherboard also serves to set the basic input / output system (BIOS) on the chip read-only memory (ROM). The BIOS code is a firmware, which the firmware will not lose even if the computer is off and also can not be changed by normal operating system or application software.

In addition, when you look at the motherboard there is a collection of slots that allow the use of components or external devices that can increase the flexibility of the computer itself. The device in question is the printer, keyboard, mouse, audio jack, external hard disk, or game stick. The device can be connected to a computer by connecting it directly to the motherboard using the ports that have been provided.

Types of Motherboards

Motherboards come with a variety of types and shapes, recognizing the type of motherboard you have is important, especially when you are going to build or upgrade a computer. Therefore consider the following explanation of the types of motherboards:

1. Motherboard AT (Advanced Technology)
The AT motherboard was a type of motherboard first introduced by IBM in August 1984, then widely used in the 1980s. This type of motherboard has a size that is quite large that is 12 x 13.8 inches, size large enough that it will not fit on the mini desktop.

Another problem with AT motherboards is the difficulty of installing, troubleshooting and upgrading because the distance between each component is very close.

Another version of the AT motherboard is the Baby AT Motherboard which has a smaller size of 8.5 x 13 inches. But at this time AT / Baby AT type motherboards have been very rarely used, and has been replaced by newer types of motherboards like ATX.

2. ATX (Advanced Technology Extended)
ATX motherboards are a type of motherboard developed by Intel in the mid-1990s which is an improvement on the previous type of motherboard AT.

In addition to the increase in the size of the motherboard is getting smaller. ATX motherboards are also increasingly easy to use, in this case installation, troubleshooting and upgrading, as well as improvements in I / O and processor technology and system production costs. This is what makes this type of motherboard is still a popular use in 2017 this year.

3. Micro-ATX
Micro-ATX is the same as the ATX type, the benefits offered are the same, the only difference being that of smaller motherboards, this is done by reducing the number of I / O slots supported on the motherboard.

4. LPX (Low Profile Extended)
The low profile motionboard extension was created after the AT motherboard in the 1990s. This type of motherboard is designed for use on Slimline or low profile casing, which is designed in such a way to reduce the use of space and space costs.

What distinguishes this type of motherboard from another is on the riser card which is a straight-mounted card used to install an expansion slot. It aims to reduce the height of a casing, since generally the height of the computer case is affected by the expansion card itself. However, this is not recommended, as it may affect the cooling system on your computer.
