Dual AMD Motherboards - Butter On Both Sides
A mother board is a board on which all the various components of a computer rest. Not only that, the motherboard also enables the various components of a computer to stay connected to one another through channels or circuits, technically known as bus. Imagine the motherboard as the plasma of a cell on which the various components of the cell like the nucleus, the cytoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondria, and the vacuoles lie. Thus there can be no computer without a motherboard. To put it differently, a dual amd motherboard is a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer. Any motherboard typically contains the following features:
Slots or sockets - The purpose of slots or sockets is to enable microprocessor, that is the Central processing Unit (CPU) and RAM (Random Access Memory) to be installed. It is the CPU that performs all the arithmetical and logical calculations. In other words it can be said that by virtue of its importance it deserves to be called the brain of the computer where all instructions and data are processed. Random Access Memory (RAM) is an area where all data are stored before they are sent to the secondary storage area. Random Access Memory is temporary in the sense that once the computer is switched off, the contents are lost.
The chipset which is a part of the motherboard's logic system. The chipset consists of two parts - the north bridge and the south bridge. The other parts of the computer are connected to the CPU through these "bridges". The heart of an Athlon Xp Motherboard is the chipset - presently the KT400 which is an enhanced version of the earlier KT333 version.
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) chip that controls the most basic functions of the computer. BIOS is actually a bunch of software instructions that reside in the ROM chip. The BIOS is responsible for many tasks such as configuring hard disk and parallel ports, managing bus transfers, and managing memory schemes. The real time clock chip operated through a battery, which maintains basic settings and the system time.
Slots for expansion cards AMD does not manufacture motherboards. So what it does is help the customers with 'to locate motherboards that AMD has verified with the AMD chipsets on its site. Typically you can use the search tool on the site to choose the chipset, manufacturer, form factor whether it is overclockable etc. On query the site will through up a list of recommended motherboards for you to choose. The processors on Dual AMD Motherboards actually are made up of two processing cores both on the same chip and hence the name 'dual-core'. Dual-core processors perform calculations on two streams of data, unlike the ordinary processors. This results in increased efficiency as well as speed since the calculations are done simultaneously while different programs are running concurrently. This translates into enhanced user friendliness since users need not wait till the computer catches up while switching between programs. Given below are some Dual AMD Motherboards with specifications culled out from the internet. Dual AMD 64 Bit Opteron Server Motherboard (Socket 1207)
