    A motherboard serves as the central component of a computer, connecting the CPU, RAM, graphics card, and other components. It controls startup of the computer through the BIOS. Motherboards come in different form factors like ATX, MicroATX, and Mini-ITX that determine their size and component capacity. USB 3.0 provides significantly faster data transfer speeds than USB 2.0, up to 10 times as fast, though devices can still work across both standards. The key differences are USB 3.0's higher speeds, power delivery, and distinctive blue ports.

    BIOS OF MOTHERBOARD

    Other than being the connection headquarters, a motherboard is


    also home to the BIOS (Basic Input/output System), making it the
    control center of your computer as well.

    The motherboard BIOS performs hardware checks whenever your


    computer powers on and allows you to access system settings
    such as:

    view hardware information and status

    change your computer's boot-up device (e.g. hard drive, disc drive,
    flash drive etc.)

    manage power settings and savings

    overclock or under clock the CPU and RAM

    above difference, you


    will often find that the
    cheapest
    motherboards are in
    MicroATX form. This
    makes sense since
    Mini-ITX boards require
    more refined
    manufacturing while
    ATX boards have more
    components.
    That being said, highend motherboards
    come in all three form
    factors including
    MicroATX ones.

    What do These Motherboards


    Have in Common?

    1. They can support the same CPU

    As long as they are of the same generation, all three form


    factors will have the same CPU socket. This is a big deal, since it
    means that a Mini-ITX motherboard is able to pack as much as
    computing punch as its full-sized ATX cousin (provided you're
    not overclocking or going for top end CPUs like Intel-E).

    They run the same graphics


    IF the motherboard has a PCI-Express x 16 slot AND the
    cards
    graphics card is able to fit into the computer case.

    However, high-end graphics cards tend to be massive so


    most Mini-ITX cases (and some MicroATX ones) won't
    have enough space to accommodate these behemoths.
    For those of you relying on integrated graphics, the good
    news is that motherboard size no longer affects graphics
    performance ever since Intel and AMD fused their
    graphics processing unit with the CPU (instead of leaving
    it on the motherboard).

    3. Their back panel ports are


    The space taken up by back panel ports and
    similar
    connectors (see image below) on a motherboard is
    about the same regardless of its size. Rather, the
    number and type of back panel ports on a
    motherboard are influenced by its price (expensive
    board = more and better ports).

    USB 2.0 and 3.0

    Since its release in 2000, USB 2.0 has made its way
    in almost every device imaginable... computers,
    laptops, tablets, phones, cameras, storage devices,
    televisions and even bitcoin miners. While it has
    enjoyed tremendous popularity for over a decade, its
    successor USB 3.0 has been gaining rapid adoption
    among newer devices.

    USB 2.0 vs 3.0: Speed


    Difference

    On paper, USB 2.0 is capable of transfer speeds


    of up to 480 Mbps while USB 3.0 caps out at
    5,000 Mbps. This would suggest that USB 3.0 is
    at least 10 times than USB 2.0, but we all know
    these figures are meaningless unless it's backed

    Real World Test

    To verify this, we performed our own USB 3.0 vs 2.0 speed test.
    We connected a Toshiba Canvio USB 3.0 external hard drive to an
    idle desktop computer and measured its transfer speed with
    CrystalDiskMark. We first connected it to an USB 2.0 port and
    recorded its speed, then repeated the process with a USB 3.0
    port. Here are our speed test results:

    Our results indicate that USB 3.0 is about 2.5 times faster,
    which tallies with findings of the other real world tests.

    USB 2.0 vs 3.0: Charging and


    A USB 2.0 port is able to deliver 0.5 A of power while USB 3.0 is
    Power
    able to output 0.9 A. This means two things: USB 3.0 devices are
    able to charge faster and USB 3.0 ports can support more powerhungry devices.

    Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 is the first phone in the world with a USB
    3.0 port, making it ideal for comparing USB 2.0 and USB 3.0
    charging speeds.

    USB 2.0 vs 3.0: Ports and


    Cables

    Color is the key to telling the difference between USB 2.0


    and 3.0 ports. In almost all cases, USB 3.0 ports are blue
    while USB 2.0 ports are black or white in color

    Is USB 2.0 and 3.0 Compatible


    with Each Other?

    USB 3.0 is backwards compatible, so the short answer is


    yes. To make things clear and simple:

    USB 2.0 port + USB 2.0 device = USB 2.0 performance

    USB 2.0 port + USB 3.0 device = USB 2.0 performance

    USB 3.0 port + USB 2.0 device = USB 2.0 performance

    USB 3.0 port + USB 3.0 device = USB 3.0 performance

    Any combination will work... but to take advantage USB


    3.0's improved speed and charging, you'll need 3
    ingredients: USB 3.0 port, USB 3.0 device and USB 3.0
    cable.
