In gaining the processor, it is necessary to know what objectives the system will focus on. It is worth mentioning that high tactical-frequency multi-nuclear processors are needed not only for Internet and office applications, but for multimedia and multimedia applications. Computer Games respectively.

The maximum productivity of the processor can be achieved only if all the single generation of the PCs are even better than one manufacturer.

Every family of processors has a certain type of mother's fee.

Maternal fees

Special attention should be paid to the choice of maternal wages:
Form default determines the size, installation, and the diets of the maternal fee. When selecting a mother ' s fee, it must be borne in mind that the computer hull supports the de facto form of the maternal fee.

The following de facto forms are now more common:

• ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is one of the most common system fees, ideally for the collection of a home computer. ATX material charges are approximately 30.5 x 24.4 cm.
• mATX (micro ATX) - slightly reduced ATX standard. It suits office computers when there's no need for a lot of expansion. mATX material charges have dimensions 24.4 x 24.4 cm.
• mini-ITX - mini-ITX maternity charges are small (17 x 17 cm).

Chipset (system logic set) - a set of microschems to connect the processor to operational memory and to the counterparts of peripheral devices. Modern chips usually consist of two microschems: the North Bridge and the South Bridge.

♪ North Bridge (Northbridge) is responsible for communication of the processor with devices using high-produced tyres, such as operational memory and video-adapter. It usually depends on the maximum volume and type (e.g. DDR2 or DDR3) of operational memory, as well as the capacity of operational memory and video store.

• Southern Bridge (Southbridge) - is responsible for the introduction/discharge and support of peripheral devices (extension maps, hard drives, Ethernet, sound, USB 2.0, SATA).

Socket (socket) - the nest where the processor's at the system fee. The following sketches are currently used:

• Intel - LGA 775 processors (Celeron, Pentium 4, Pentium Dual Core, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme), LGA 1336 (Core i7).
• AMD-Socket AM2, Socket AM2+, Socket AM3 (Athlon 64x2, Athlon x2, Phenom 64x3, Phenom 64x4, Phenom II x3, Phenom II x3, Phenom II x4).

Operational memory layers - When selecting a maternity fee, you have to consider what type of operational memory you're going to use DDR2 or DDR3. DDR2 cannot be inserted in a dime for DDR3 and vice versa. Some manufacturers make maternity fees with slots for DDR2 and DDR3 on one fee. It is also important that the number of slots for operational memory is greater than the number of slots, the greater the ability to upgrade the computer.
