A motherboard, also known as a mainboard, logic board, or system board, and sometimes abbreviated as mobo (generally credited to the magazine Maximum PC), is the central or primary circuit board making up a complex electronic system, such as a computer.

A typical computer is built with the microprocessor, main memory, and other basic components on the motherboard. Other components of the computer such as external storage, control circuits for video display and sound, and peripheral devices are typically attached to the motherboard via ribbon cables, other cables, and power connectors.

There is more information about IBM-compatible personal computers in PC motherboard.
