A motherboard is a “printed circuit board” (PCB) with components soldered onto it. A printed circuit board is a piece of thin fiberglass with thin copper traces etched onto it. In the long-ago past, the components could be soldered onto the board using a soldering iron and manual assembly.
Except for hobbyists building things at home, that process is far too expensive at a factory level today.
The next innovation was wave soldering. The components are mounted on the printed circuit board and then the board is preheated. The board runs over a pool of rippling liquid solder and the components are soldered onto the board by the ripples.
But on a modern circuit board, the chips often have so many pins, and the parts are so small, and the parts often sit on both sides of the board (open up an old cell phone to see what I mean)… so wave soldering can’t be used. Instead, the components are all “surface mounted”. The chips use ball grid arrays (BGAs) and either an oven or hot air is used to melt the balls of solder.
A ball in a ball grid array is just a tiny ball of solder on the bottom of the chip.
If you place that chip on a printed circuit board and heat it, the balls melt and solder the chip to the board.
In it you read all blog about technology that freaks you means make you crazy about technology.

The processor family
hello there, My name is Ashwani Rathi and i am here to talk about some of the processors and their types. first of all i want to take a quick look on the Brands of the Processors. The first one is Intel and the Second giant is AMD. Intel has been pioneer in the field of the computer hardware. These companies are regarded as the premier companies for the manufacturing of the processors. in the era of the 2010 there are three main processors in the market from the Intel. these are regarded as the "I" family of the processors . these are I3, I5, and I7 processors. these processors boast of there speed and there cache size. as well as the AMD is concern about the processors competitions they have come up with the Opteron series
which include Opteron 6100, opteron 4100 and six core opteron processors. they also competting for the graphic cards.
