When computer manufacturers design computer systems, one of their goals is to make
the most efficient use possible of the space inside the chassis, which is also called the computer case.
They must make sure that the motherboard and power supply fit inside the chassis and that the motherboard has room to hold all the field replaceable units (FRUs) that are needed inside the computer. The size and shape of a device is referred to as its form factor. Form factors are governed by industry specifications, which provide design guidance. These specifications take into account electrical, mechanical, structural, thermal, and acoustic performance requirements. They ensure compatibility among manufacturers while allowing different configurations of chassis and power supplies.

1.What type of form factor does a motherboard in a desktop computer typically use?

2.How does this compare with the motherboard in a laptop?

3.Can you take the motherboard out of one desktop and put it into another desktop? Can you take a motherboard out of one laptop and put it into another laptop? Why or why not?

4.What are the differences between the type of RAM used in desktops and the type used in laptops?

5.Can you take a hard drive out of a desktop and put it into a laptop? Why or why not?
