 Personal computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earlier PCs were generally called desktop computers, and the slower Pentium-based personal computer of the late 1990s could easily outperform the advanced minicomputers of that era.
Though many personal computers are IBM PC compatible using either Microsoft Windows or closed and open-source Unix-likes such as Linux, a number of other personal computer types are also popular.
Many mass-market IBM PC compatible and Apple Macintosh personal computers are standardized to the point that purchased software is expected to run with little or no customization for the particular computer.

 PC motherboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A motherboard is a printed circuit board used in a personal computer.
Despite significant performance limitations, it was not superseded by the more advanced but incompatible MCA (Micro Channel Architecture) (IBM's proprietary solution which appeared in their PS/2 series of computers and a handful of other models) or the equally advanced and backward-compatible EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) bus.
It endured as a standard feature in PCs till the end of the 20th century, aided first by the brief dominance of the VESA (Video Electronic Standards Association) extension during the reign of the 486 and later by the need to accommodate the large number of existing ISA peripheral cards.
