For example starting at the top of the board near the CPU socket mentioning the highest clockspeed on the board for ex. FSB and its relation with the northbridge and memory. Then sliding towards the bottom, as it were, explaining clock dividers and their relation with the southbridge and various devices and controllers using a clock divider. A board block diagram might be useful. http://www.hothardware.com/reviews/i...ockdiagram.htm But it's a good guide already, nice work Dan

| Trouble is if I start to get in to clockspeeds and the rest, and cover that for the different platforms available. It starts to become more than an overview. Would be nice to cover that in more depth, in another article or several articles. The BIOS chip page does link to a previous article on A64's, and a simple explanation of clockspeeds, dividers, etc. Last edited by danrok : 10th February, 2007 at 10:36 AM. |

| I looked at this a while back. I really like it. It gives a basic understanding to the motherboard, and what goes into it Great job
