Motherboard, Processor and Memory form the main components of a computer system. The motherboard is the circuit board to which all the other components of the computer connect in some way. The video card, sound card, IDE hard drive, etc. all plug into the motherboard's various slots and connectors. The CPU also plugs into the motherboard via a Socket or a Slot. Motherboard is the main circuit board of a computer. It contains connectors and ports for attaching additional boards and peripheral devices. It has multiple controller chips on the moth ....etc

PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT (PCI) BUS
What is a bus?
Communication pathway connecting two or more devices
Typical desktop PC has two main buses:
1)System bus or Local bus - connects CPU and memory
- fastest bus

2)PCI bus -connects hard-disks , sound cards
-slower bus
PCI BUS
Parallel bus
Developed by Intel in 1992
Interconnects chips,expansion boards and processor memory subsystems

Abstract

Compact peripheral component interconnect (CPCI) is an adaptation of the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) specification for industrial computer applications requiring a smaller, more robust mechanical form factor than the one defined for the desktop. CompactPCI is an open standard supported by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturerâ„¢s Group (PICMG). CompactPCI is best suited for small, high-speed industrial computing applications where transfers occur between a number of high-speed cards.

ABSTRACT
A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a microprocessor that has been designed specifically for the processing of 3D graphics. The processor is built with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines, capable of handling millions of math-intensive processes per second. GPUs allow products such as desktop PCs, portable computers, and game consoles to process real-time 3D graphics that only a few years ago were only available on high-end workstations. Used primarily for 3-D applications, ....etc

ABSTRACT
In January of 2000, Transmeta Corporation introduced the Crusoe processors, an x86-compatible family of solutions that combines strong performance with remarkably low power consumption. As might be expected, a new technology for designing and implementing microprocessors underlies the development of these products. As might not be expected, the new technology is fundamentally software-based: the power savings come from replacing large numbers of transistors with software.
The Crusoe ....etc

HYPER TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY
1.ABSTRACT

The hyper transport protocol defines a high-performance and scalable interconnect between CPU, memory, and I/O devices. Conceptually, the architecture of the Hyper Transport I/O page link can be mapped into five different layers, which structure is similar to the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model. In Hyper Transport technology: 1. The physical layer defines the physical and electrical characteristics of the protocol. This layer interfaces to the physical world and includes data, control, ....etc
