Your motherboard is the most important piece of equipment in your computer system, and it is the most complicated. The motherboard acts as the skeleton upon which your computer is built. It connects to your processor, your memory, your AGP card, your PCI cards, your mouse, your keyboard, your USB, and every single other component in your computer system. For this reason, it is extremely important to know both who made your motherboard, and some other specific information about it.
Not all motherboards are equal, some are better designed and built than others, and many problems in a computer system (even graphics problems) can be traced back to a problem that has its roots on the motherboard. The main information that you will want to know about your motherboard is: the name of the manufacturer, the model number of the motherboard (as used by the manufacturer), the BIOS version that is on your motherboard, and the location of the motherboard manufacturer's website - in case you need to get support or updated files from them.
The Motherboard Chipset
Your motherboard chipset is every bit as important as the motherboard manufacturer and model number. The motherboard chipset is the piece of technology that controls your entire computer system. While it is true that the CPU is the brains of your computer system and does all of the computations, calculations, and number crunching, the motherboard chipset is like the computer's nervous system. Nothing goes anywhere without the chipset's help and say-so. So, you can see that it is extremely vital that you are aware of who made it, what model number it is, and what the latest drivers or control software is for your particular operating system - without these, it is very likely that your computer will not work correctly.
There are several manufacturers of motherboard chipsets and each of them have their advantages and disadvantages, and it is important for you to know exactly how this will effect you and your system.
Intel
The Intel NetStructure® MPCBL0040 single board computer is the latest in a series of high compute boards introducing powerful multi-core architecture compliant with the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA*) specification. The MCPBL0040 features two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® LV 2.0 GHz processors, providing a total of four processor cores per board. This design achieves significant performance improvements in multithreaded applications such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), IPTV, and Wireless Control Plane applications. The MPCBL0040 is also designed to interoperate with AdvancedTCA products from Intel and with third-party building blocks meeting the PICMG* 3.0 specification.

AMD is a relative newcomer to the AGP chipset market. Driven by a need to create high quality AGP chipsets to support their newer CPUs, AMD has developed several very successful new AGP chipsets. However, like all non-Intel AGP chipsets, you need to download and install their AGP drivers in order to get AGP to work correctly.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has been leading the dual core performance race when it comes to gaming and raw performance levels, but they have failed to release a dual core processor at an affordable price range. Prior to today the low end dual core processor was the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester processor and it comes with a not too low end price tag of roughly $550 US at the time of press. For years AMD processors have been known to be the best deal for computer enthusiasts on a budget since their price points were always lower than their competitor's -- Intel Corporation. Although AMD was first to tape out a dual core processor, Intel beat AMD out the door with their dual core series and in an amazing turn of events the Intel Pentium 4 820 (Intel's entry level dual core processor) costs ~$236 US when purchased from online retailers.

Latest Processor
A Central Processing Unit (CPU), or sometimes just processor, is a description of a certain class of logic machines that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. However, the term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s (Weik 1961). The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation has remained much the same.

Early CPUs were custom-designed as a part of a larger, usually one-of-a-kind, computer. However, this costly method of designing custom CPUs for a particular application has largely given way to the development of mass-produced processors that are suited for one or many purposes. This standardization trend generally began in the era of discrete transistor mainframes and minicomputers and has rapidly accelerated with the popularization of the integrated circuit (IC). The IC has allowed increasingly complex CPUs to be designed and manufactured in very small spaces (on the order of millimeters). Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of these digital devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines. Modern microprocessors appear in everything from automobiles to cell phones to children's toys.
