🔌 What is it for?
It serves as a communication platform between components. Thanks to its numerous ports and connectors, it allows each part to work together smoothly and compatibly.
🛠️ What does it contain?
Slots for RAM, processor, SSD/HDD, etc.
Internal controllers that manage power, audio, network, etc.
The BIOS (or UEFI), which is the very first software launched when the computer starts up.
👉 Unlike the operating system (Windows, Linux…), the BIOS is stored on the motherboard, not on the hard drive.
🖥️ Essential for operation
Without a motherboard, it is impossible to build a PC or operate a laptop: it is the foundation on which the entire system rests.
