Motherboard: Keeping it all together

Some say Mom is the glue that holds a family together. Ironically, the same title can be given to the motherboard. Also known as the circuit board, this component houses the CPU and the bus. Plus it has slots, sockets and ports for memory and peripheral expansion. When shopping for motherboards it's probably best to spend a little more for a high quality model. Basically this will ensure you have enough space to handle all different types of future upgrades like memory, sound, video and processors.
