Thanks for the nice info. But I think the average dude wont have a slightest idea what you are talking about. So many acronyms like DDR, SDRAM, AGP, IDE, ATA, etc... Maybe you should make a video explaining what those stand for and what are their functions. :) You have a great voice! Very clear and articulate. ^^

About Motherboard Components

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I’m here on behalf of expertvillage.com. Please visit our web site at www.clickincomputer.com. We will start with the most important part, the motherboard. When buying a motherboard, the first thing we need to pay attention to is the type of processor it is made for. This is usually determined by the socket or sometimes slot type. It can be broken down into two categories either AMD or Intel type. Today, we’re working with an Intel Pentium 4 processor whose speed is 3.2 GHz, the socket 775, so we have a socket 775 motherboard. The next thing to consider in buying a motherboard is the type of RAM or memory. The latest motherboards are going to DDR-II memory. However, this motherboard supports DDR-I. For older motherboards you may need SD/RAM. Also, when choosing a motherboard you will need to determine what type of video card you are going to use. This motherboard has onboard video, but also has an AGP slot. The higher end newest video cards that are being produced are called PCI Express or PCI E for short. Since we have an AGP motherboard we have got an AGP video card to install toady. When buying a motherboard one of things you are going to need to consider is what kind of hard drive you are going to get. Most newer motherboards will support both serial ATA or SATA hard drives as well as IDE, which is what CD/ROMs also use. This motherboard supports serial ATA. So, we have a SATA hard drive.
