Logic Board

[Karen_Ian]

Hiya,

Does anyone know if the 'logic board' (english) is the same thing as the 'carte mère' (french) - or are they 2 completely different things within my computer?

Thanks

In english this would be the motherboard

The "heart" of your PC -- it handles system resources (IRQ lines, DMA channels, I/O locations), as well as core components like the CPU, and all system memory. It accepts expansion devices such as sound and network cards, and modems.

Mike, thanks for your reply and links. I couldn't find 'logic board' in the glossary links so does that mean I'm safe to assume they are both the same thing, but it just has 2 names to confuse non techie people like me!

Thanks

Karen
