Listen to Your Motherboard
All components in your desktop PC system connect to the motherboard, also called a mainboard or mobo. The type of RAM and CPU you use will depend on your motherboard, which also includes onboard sound, onboard graphics, and a chip set. The chip set is essential for transferring data between the hard drive, memory, and CPU, as well as enabling all peripherals and expansion cards to communicate with each other and the CPU.
The chip set establishes the character and quality of the desktop PC motherboard. Manufacturers may add features such as FireWire ports and RAID controllers to distinguish each type of board, however only the chip set can determine RAM type and CPU type and speed for your desktop PC motherboard.
Learn the specifics of the chip set, such as Integrated Device Electronics controller speed, CPU type, and if sound and graphics are integrated. Use this menu of features to compare motherboards when assembling your own desktop PC system.
