  5. POST card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_card

    Some motherboards have a built-in display to diagnose hardware problems. Most also report POST errors with audible beeps, if a PC speaker is attached. Such motherboards make POST cards less necessary. When these diagnostic cards were first introduced motherboards were expensive and well worth troubleshooting and repairing.

  6. All-in-one computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-in-one_computer

    Dell Inspiron One 23 Touch, an all-in-one PC from 2012. An all-in-one computer (also called an AIO or all-in-one PC) is a type of personal computer that integrates the computer components, such as the CPU, monitor, and speakers, into a single unit.

  7. Platform Controller Hub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Controller_Hub

    Under the Hub Architecture, a motherboard would have a two piece chipset consisting of a northbridge chip and a southbridge chip. Over time, the speed of CPUs kept increasing but the bandwidth of the front-side bus (FSB) (connection between the CPU and the motherboard) did not, resulting in a performance bottleneck.

  8. Mini-ITX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-ITX

    ITX motherboard form factor comparison Comparison of the form factors for mini-ITX, mini-DTX, ATX, μATX and DTX motherboards. Mini-ITX is a 170 mm × 170 mm (6.7 in × 6.7 in) motherboard form factor developed by VIA Technologies in 2001. [1] Mini-ITX motherboards have been traditionally used in small-configured computer systems.

  9. Motherboard form factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard_form_factor

    For example, the introduction of AGP and, more recently, PCI Express have influenced motherboard design. However, the standardized size and layout of motherboards have changed much more slowly and are controlled by their own standards. The list of components required on a motherboard changes far more slowly than the components themselves.
