Computer Boards

A motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system, while providing connectors for other peripherals. . The CPU, memory and peripherals were housed on individual printed circuit boards which plugged into the backplane. Gold is used in the making of computers. Gold is a good conductor of electricity, so it will often be used in motherboards for computers to transport the signals. Gold used in electronics is plated to improve quality of electrical conductivity. The amount of gold in a motherboard is very small, gold connectors have only microns of gold plating.
