  2. POST card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_card

    Some motherboards have a built-in display to diagnose hardware problems. Most also report POST errors with audible beeps, if a PC speaker is attached. Such motherboards make POST cards less necessary. When these diagnostic cards were first introduced motherboards were expensive and well worth troubleshooting and repairing.

  4. Memory controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_controller

    In current practice, this has not been achieved; memory scrambling has only been designed to address DRAM-related electrical problems. The late 2010s memory scrambling standards do address security issues and are not cryptographically secure or open to public revision or analysis. [11] ASUS and Intel have their separate memory scrambling standards.

  5. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Motherboards have circuitry preventing batteries from being charged and discharged when a motherboard is powered on. Other common battery cell types can last significantly longer or shorter periods, such as the smaller CR2016 which will generally last about 40% less time than CR2032. Higher temperatures and longer power-off time will shorten ...

  6. Option ROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_ROM

    Prior to the development and ubiquitous adoption of the Plug and Play BIOS standard, an add-on device such as a hard disk controller or a network adapter card (NIC) was generally required to include an option ROM in order to be bootable, as the motherboard BIOS did not include any support for the device and so could not incorporate it into the BIOS's boot protocol.

  9. Overclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

    The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.
