Motherboard - Intel Socket 1150

The motherboard, also sometimes referred to as the main board, is a collection of devices (together on one large circuit board) that control the flow of data and operating electricity for all the primary components in a PC - for example, the CPU, memory, graphics adapter and sound card.

These are the newest type of motherboard available with the 1150 socket found on most of the new i3 and i5 "sandybridge" processors These motherboards typically support high speed DDR3 memory as well as having mainly SATA connection onboard for connecting components.

These motherboards are compatible with desktop computers only and the features available on each board differ so it is important to check the specification of each.
