Abstract
The motherboard is the heart of the computer and also the most neglected part of the hardware. The main purpose of the motherboard is to connect all parts of a computer such as: memory, processor, disks and other devices in a better and faster way. Unlike other hardware devices development of motherboard is very unique and has a great impact on the market. While other devices developed independently of each other, it depends on the development of the motherboard whether these devices will work together. The objectives of this study were to describe the most important sections of the motherboard and its development starting from chipsets, through memory, processor, which is one of the parts that are selected first when designing a computer, to the bus and the other slots. In addition, there will be a describtion of the motherboard models and their development. An online survey was conducted and that gave the answers to the questions like: how much computer users are familiar with their motherboards, have they ever had motherboard failures and what were they.
