1. Motherboard Components Used for Communication Among Devices
The data bus
System of pathways used for communication and the protocol and methods used for transmission

2. The Bus and Bus Lines

3. Bus Data path side Can have multiply buses on a system 64 bits
Width of bus
Can have multiply buses on a system
The bus that communicated with the CPU is the System, Host, Memory, front side, external bus.
64 bits

4. Data Bus Motherboards have more than one type of bus:
-System bus (cpu, memory, chip set)
-AGP bus (video)
-PCI bus (expansion cards)

5. System Clock
