AOpen also made the first AMD based Mini-ITX motherboard, the MCP68PVNt-HD, it supports HDMI and HDCP for home theater PC systems and comes with the MCP68PVNT chipset for AMD Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64, and Sempron CPU with AM2 socket.

Because the Pentium 4 and other NetBurst CPUs proved less energy efficient than the Pentium M, in late 2004 and early 2005, many manufacturers introduced desktop motherboards for the mobile Pentium M, AOpen being one of the first to offer such solutions.

Later in the same year, the first AOpen mini PC MP915 ( renamed to XC mini in 2007 since “ mini PC ” could not be registered as a trademark ), was announced.

In April 2002 the first Mini-ITX motherboards — VIA's EPIA 5000 ( fanless 533 MHz Eden processor ) and EPIA 800 ( 800 MHz C3 )— were sold to industrial customers.

Designed to connect peripheral cards to the motherboard, ISA allows for bus mastering although only the first 16 MB of main memory are available for direct access.

When power is first applied to the motherboard, the BIOS firmware tests and configures memory, circuitry, and peripherals.

Tandy 1000 computers were some of the first IBM PC clones to incorporate a complete set of basic peripherals on the motherboard using proprietary ASICs, the forerunner of the chipset.

In 2001 AMD released their Athlon MP, or MultiProcessor CPU, together with the 760MP motherboard chipset as their first offering in the dual processor marketplace.

Its single-chip implementation also allowed the VGA to be placed directly on a PC ′ s motherboard with a minimum of difficulty ( it only required video memory, timing crystals and an external RAMDAC ), and the first IBM PS / 2 models were equipped with VGA on the motherboard.

Rather than redesign the first model completely, a daughterboard may be added to a special port or connector on the motherboard or mainboard.

It was the first major change in desktop computer enclosure, motherboard, and power supply design in many years, improving standardization and interchangeability of parts.

The first part of this memory was installed on the motherboard of the system ( in very early machines, 64 KiB, later revised to 256 KiB ).

In some applications, the PC speaker is affixed directly to the computer's motherboard ; in others, including the first IBM Personal Computer, the speaker is attached by wire to a connector on the motherboard.

In the first months of production the ATX and BTX motherboards were so similar that moving a BTX motherboard to an ATX case was possible and vice-versa, this was possible because the first BTX motherboards were ATX motherboard turned upside down, except for the component location that really were BTX positioning.

When the CP System III board is first powered on, the contents of the CD are flashed onto a bank of SIMMs on the motherboard, where it is executed.

In 1987, the company produced the world's first overclocking motherboard.

They were also one of the first motherboard manufacturers to enable undervolting.

ABIT was the first motherboard manufacturer to introduce 133 MHz FSB operation for the Intel BX chipset with the aptly named AB-BX133.

Either the BIOS or the operating system geographically addresses the PCI slots ( e. g. the first PCI slot, the second PCI slot, or the third PCI slot, etc., on the motherboard ) through the PCI controller using the per slot IDSEL ( Initialization Device Select ) signals.

The original motherboard for the first ad server, assembled in June 1995, is also preserved.

The first SKUs of the PlayStation 3 also featured an Emotion Engine on the motherboard to achieve backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 games.

The ABIT BP6 ( introduced in 1999 ) was the first motherboard to allow for the use of ( affordable ) Intel Celeron processors in Symmetric multiprocessing ( SMP ) configuration.

But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.
