motherboard

n. main board of a computer where the memory processor and expansion cards are located (Computers)

A motherboard is the central or primary circuit board making up a complex electronic system, such as a modern computer. It is also known as a mainboard, baseboard, system board, or, on Apple computers, a logic board, and is sometimes abbreviated as mobo.Most after-market motherboards produced today are designed for so-called IBM-compatible computers, which hold over 96% of the personal computer market today. Motherboards for IBM-compatible computers are specifically covered in the PC motherboard article.The basic purpose of the motherboard, like a backplane, is to provide the electrical and logical connections by which the other components of the system communicate.

In a personal computer, the motherboard contains the bus, the microprocessor, and integrated circuits used for controlling any built-in peripherals such as the keyboard, text and graphics display, serial ports and parallel ports, joystick, and mouse interfaces.
