Does mom handle everything at home or someone else??? 🤔 And who gets talked about the most...?
Because someone says dad earns and brings it all in… someone says the elder brother is the real productive one… someone says the younger brother is the whole household's entertainment package... 🤓
But the day mom goes away somewhere for two days… that's when you find out who was really running the show...! 🤭
The breakfast system disappears… clothes disappear… chargers disappear… and half the household can't even find the water jug... 🙄
Well, this exact same story is playing out inside your computer or laptop too… Mr. CPU thinks he's the king… GPU thinks it's the artist… RAM is drunk on its own speed… SSD thinks it's a rocket... 🫡
But in the middle of all this sits a poor, patient mom the Motherboard… who listens to everyone… holds them all close… delivers power to everyone… and puts up with everyone's tantrums... it's this mom who decides who gets how much current... who talks to whom at what speed... and who sits in which corner of the house... if she's weak or cheap, everyone will fight amongst themselves and wreck the whole household! 💔
In the world of hardware, it's generally assumed that all of a computer's power lies only in the processor graphics card, or RAM and the rest of the parts are just there to be fitted into the box… 🤷
And the strange thing is that when people go to buy a laptop or computer… the least asked question is about the Motherboard… everyone's focus stays on: bro, how much RAM is there? Which processor? How big is the graphics card?
But asking about the Motherboard gets forgotten just like forgetting to feed the photographer at a wedding... 🤦
And then later it turns out that the RAM can't even be increased… a new SSD can't even be installed… or the next Generation Processor isn't even supported… and the person ends up sitting there holding their head... 😭
So remember today's most important rule...
Inside a computer the CPU and GPU get all the fame… but the Motherboard carries the most responsibility on its shoulders...
So... next time you go to buy a computer or laptop… instead of just chanting the mantra of processor, RAM and graphics card make sure to ask a few questions about the Motherboard too...
Otherwise later the door to upgrading will be shut and you'll be left knocking on it... 🥸
If you're buying a laptop, ask:
First... can the RAM be increased later or not?
Second... can the SSD be replaced or upgraded or not?
Third... how's the Motherboard's cooling system?
Because with laptops the usual trick is that it looks cheap today… and later it turns out nothing can be upgraded… or it just runs way too hot… 🙃
And when buying a computer definitely ask these few questions...
First... what's the complete model of the Motherboard?
Second... how many RAM slots does it have?
Third... what's the maximum RAM it can support?
Fourth... how many SSD or NVMe slots are there?
Fifth... will it support the next Generation Processor or not?
Sixth... if the Graphics Card needs to be upgraded someday will the Motherboard cooperate or throw a tantrum? 🤭
If the shopkeeper gives clear and straightforward answers to these questions… understand that the person is honest… and if they give vague answers or change the subject… understand that this is exactly the moment this series has taught you to watch out for…😏
And now comes some people's most dangerous mistake... 🫣
People who buy a hundred thousand rupee processor… a fifty thousand rupee graphics card...
and then get a Motherboard as if trying to fit a Ferrari engine into a rickshaw... 🤦
Then some people do the exact opposite...
they buy such an expensive Motherboard as if sending a rocket to NASA...
while the rest of the parts are completely low grade... 😭
That's why the Motherboard isn't the thing to spend the most money on… nor is it something to completely ignore...
Instead... you need a Motherboard that can support your parts according to your work… one that fits the budget today, while still leaving room to upgrade tomorrow... 😎
For that just head straight to CoreX… they'll explain it all… 🥰
