    <center><h1>Motherboard</h1></center>
    <p>The motherboard is what holds everything together in a computer. If you open your computer case up, you will see that there is one big board to which everything is attached. Below is an example of a motherboard. Yours may differ from it, but the motherboard's function is still the same. We have selected several components and attached them to the motherboard. When you click on them, you will see an explanation of their function. You can also access each component from the menu on the left.</p>

    <p>To show you some variety of motherboards, we will show you the motherboard of a supercomputer (the ETA-10). This motherboard is considerably larger than the one shown above, and weighs about 10-20 pounds.</p>
