Karen_Ian Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntina Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 In english this would be the motherboardThe "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.www.ontrack.com/glossary/ The main printed circuit board in a computer that carries the system buses. It is equipped with sockets to which all processors, memory modules, plug-in cards, daughterboards, or peripheral devices are connected.www.crucial.com/library/glossary.asp The printed circuit board that is the foundation of the computer. This board contains a computer's CPU, RAM chips and expansion slots. The motherboard is where all of the computer's compenents meet.*www.itc.virginia.edu/survival/reference/unit4term.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Ian Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 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!ThanksKaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
