PERSONAL COMPUTER

While most capacitors are rated for hours of operation at °C their expected design life roughly doubles for every °C below this. At °C a lifetime of years can be expected. This appears reasonable for a computer motherboard however many manufacturers have delivered substandard capacitorscitation needed which significantly reduce life expectancy. Inadequate case cooling and elevated temperatures easily exacerbate this problem. It is possible but tedious and timeconsuming to find and replace failed capacitors on PC motherboards it is less expensive to buy a new motherboard than to pay for such a repair.citation neededMotherboards are produced in a variety of sizes and shapes form factors some of which are specific to individual computer manufacturers. However the motherboards used in IBMcompatible...

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

Motherboards are generally air cooled with heat sinks often mounted on larger chips such as the northbridge in modern motherboards. If the motherboard is not cooled properly then this can cause the motherboard to crash. Passive cooling or a single fan mounted on the power supply was sufficient for many desktop computer CPUs until the late s since then most have required CPU fans mounted on their heatsinks due to rising clock speeds and power consumption. Most motherboards have connectors for additional case fans as well. Newer motherboards have integrated temperature sensors to detect motherboard and CPU temperatures and controllable fan connectors which the BIOS or operating system can use to regulate fan speed. Some higherpowered computers which typically have highperformance processors...

Motherboard

A motherboard is the central printed circuit board PCB in some complex electronic systems such as modern personal computers. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard system board or on Apple computers the logic board. It is also sometimes casually shortened to moboMost computer motherboards produced today are designed for IBMcompatible computers which currently account for around of global PC salescitation needed. A motherboard like a backplane provides the electrical connections by which the other components of the system communicate but unlike a backplane it also hosts the central processing unit and other subsystems and devicesMotherboards are also used in many other electronics devices.A typical desktop computer has its microprocessor main memory...

Intel vs. amd???

I believe you are going to buy a dual core processor. The main competition exists between Intel Core2 Duo and AMD Athlon X2. Intel Dual Core (not Core2 Duo) is crap and you should not go for it. Until recently, Intel was unable to compete with AMD. But with the advent of Core2 Duo Processors Intel is giving good fight to the increasing market of AMD. You can buy processors starting from Rs.3000/- to Rs.20000/-. Now it all comes up to the investment you are going to make. If you can afford to buy best motherboard and the best processor, you would be spending a huge sum of money on something that you won’t really need at this point of time. So find out what motherboards are available in the market (company +model name) and processor options you have. I would personally suggest you to think...
