4) Ram Slots
Ram Slots - Slots for the system's main memory, typically in the form of DRAM chips.
5) Northbridge
Northbridge Without heatsink
Northbridge With heatsink
Northbridge - A chip forms an interface between the CPU, the main memory and other components. On many types of motherboards, this is referred to as the Northbridge. This chip also contains a large heat sink.
6) Southbridge
Southbridge - A second chip controls the input and output (I/O) functions. It is not connected directly to the CPU but to the Northbridge. This I/O controller is referred to as the Southbridge. The Northbridge and Southbridge combined are referred to as the chipset.
7) Several connectors
Several connectors - which provide the physical interface between input and output devices and the motherboard. The Southbridge handles these connections.
8) Extra Slots For Hard Drivers
