How do motherboards work?
In: 2
ELI5: A Motherboard is like a grocery store. We know there is a meat department, a bakery, we know there is a section where all the milk and cheese are and a warehouse portion where goods may be stored. There are doors on the outside of the building like the receiving dock, front entrance for customers, or emergency exits. There are also the aisles of the store. All of these things work together to make it ‘A Grocery Store’, but it’s really many different smaller markets all in one building. Dry goods, fresh goods, some staff helping stock the shelves and some staff helping ring in purchases from customers. The motherboard ensures those different departments know how to talk to each other, because sometimes the guy working in the bakery speaks a different language than the lady at the dairy section. The motherboard speaks all these languages, and lets them all work well together. The motherboard itself uses a ‘Store Manager’ called a ‘Chipset’ that knows all the languages of the departments.
