The Motherboard is essential as a means of connecting all of the computer's parts together. Extra boards, called 'daughter boards' can be plugged into the motherboard. Motherboard
10. Cables are essential in computer systems there are many different types made from different materials. The mains power lead is designed to send power to the system A USB lead allows users to connect devices to the computer A VGA can allow a user to connect a graphics card to the output monitor or screen.
