Motherboard +
A motherboard (sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board, or colloquially, a mobo ) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found in computers and other expandable systems. It holds many of the crucial electronic components of the system, such as the central processing unit (CPU) and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals. Unlike a backplane, a motherboard contains significant sub-systems such as the processor.
