Mobo compenents and their tasks

[joeyg2391]

Hi i was wondering if there is a guide that tells me what each part of the motherboard does. For example, FSB and how it is important. Also had a question as to what are the benefits of having the memory controller on the CPU.(AMD 64) What is the purpose of the memory controller? Yhanks

Not to sound too condescending, but your questions are really, really vague. If you don't know what a memory controller or FSB is, there's no way someone can explain to you why the A64's architecture is different/better than the P4.
