| **Motherboard** (also called **mainboard**, main circuit board, system board, baseboard, planar board, logic board, or mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems. It holds and allows communication between many of the crucial electronic components of a system, such as the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cpu]] and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals. Unlike a backplane, a motherboard usually contains significant sub-systems, such as the central [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:start|processor]], the chipset's input/output and memory controllers, [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:interface|interface]] connectors, and other components integrated for general use. | **Motherboard** (also called **mainboard**, main circuit board, system board, baseboard, planar board, logic board, or mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems.
