Software compatibility can refer to the compatibility that a particular software has running on a particular CPU architecture such as Intel or PowerPC. [1] Software compatibility can also refer to ability for the software to run on a particular operating system. Very rarely is a compiled software compatible with multiple different CPU ...
Socket FM2+ (FM2b, FM2r2) is a zero insertion force CPU socket designed by AMD for their desktop "Kaveri" APUs (Steamroller-based) and Godavari APUs (Steamroller-based) to connect to the motherboard. [1]
Socket FM2 is a CPU socket used by AMD's desktop Trinity and Richland APUs to connect to the motherboard as well as Athlon X2 and Athlon X4 processors based on them. FM2 was launched on September 27, 2012. [1]
IBM's long-standing standard, AT (Advanced Technology), was superseded in 1995 by the current industry standard ATX (Advanced Technology Extended), [1] which still governs the size and design of the motherboard in most modern PCs. The latest update to the ATX standard was released in 2007.
Socket AM3 processors are able to run on Socket AM2 and AM2+ motherboards with appropriate BIOS updates, but not vice versa. AM3 processors have a new memory controller supporting both DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM, allowing backwards compatibility with AM2 and AM2+ motherboards. Since AM2 and AM2+ processors lack the new memory controller, they will not ...
BTX form factor motherboard inside a Dell Dimension E520. Pico BTX is a motherboard form factor that is meant to miniaturize the 12.8 × 10.5 in (325 × 267 mm) BTX standard. Pico BTX motherboards measure 8 × 10.5 in (203 × 267 mm). This is smaller than many current "micro"-sized motherboards, hence the name "pico". These motherboards share a ...
Baby AT motherboard An ATX Form Card, used by later Baby-AT motherboards to allow for USB, PS/2 mouse, and IR connectivity through headers. In 1987, the Baby AT form factor was introduced, based on the motherboard found in the IBM PC/XT 286 (5162) [2] and soon after all computer makers abandoned AT for the cheaper and smaller Baby AT form factor, using it for computers that spanned several ...
Socket AM2+ is a CPU socket, which is the immediate successor to Socket AM2 that is used by several AMD processors such as Athlon 64 X2.Socket AM2+ is a mid-migration from Socket AM2 to Socket AM3 and both AM2+ and AM2 socket CPUs and motherboards have the potential to operate together.
