Inexpensive mainboard – the most important things at a glance

A mainboard, also known as the main circuit board or motherboard, is the central circuit board of a computer on which all components are connected to one another. The most important components of a mainboard are the chipset, the processor, the main memory, the drives and the interfaces. Choosing the right motherboard is crucial for the performance and reliability of a PC.

Inexpensive mainboards are available from around 50 euros. Such a mainboard is usually completely sufficient for beginners. Of course there are also higher quality mainboards for the gamer or professional area, but they are also correspondingly more expensive.

The most important criteria when buying a motherboard are the price, the quality and the equipment. There are big differences in price, since mainboards are offered for beginners as well as for the high-end sector. The quality usually depends on the components used and the processing. And the equipment also varies greatly, depending on which connections, slots and features the mainboard offers.

Mainboards can basically be divided into two categories: ATX and mATX mainboards. The dimensions of a mATX mainboard are smaller than those of an ATX mainboard, which is why mATX mainboards are often found in smaller PCs or laptops. When choosing the right mainboard, you should first consider which connections, slots and features you need.

The following similarities and differences should be considered when choosing a motherboard:

Similarities:

both types support most current processors and memory types

both offer a variety of connections and slots

Differences:

ATX mainboards are usually larger than mATX mainboards and therefore offer more connections and slots

mATX mainboards are often cheaper than ATX mainboards
