It also contains sockets, ports, and slots for computing devices and electronic pathways for those devices to communicate with one another. The motherboard also houses the chipset for your BIOS, which is the most basic way users can interact with a computer. The brand of motherboard that you purchase is probably not that important as long as it has the correct size and number of sockets, slots, and ports for the devices that you want to use.
It also regulates the power received by the hard drive, graphics card, CPU and system memory from the power supply.
