MAIN BOARD UTILITY
A motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in some complex electronic systems, such as modern personal computers. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, or, on Apple computers, the logic board. It is also sometimes casually shortened to mobo. Motherboards contain some non-volatile memory to initialize the system and load an operating system from some external peripheral device. Microcomputers such as the Apple II and IBM PC used read-only memory chips, mounted in sockets on the motherboard. At power-up, the central processor would load its program counter with the address of the boot ROM, and start executing ROM instructions, displaying system information on the screen and running memory checks, which would in turn start loading memory from an external or peripheral device (disk drive). If none is available, then the computer can perform tasks from other memory stores or display an error message, depending on the model and design of the computer and version of the BIOS. Most modern motherboard designs use a BIOS, stored in an EEPROM chip soldered to the motherboard, to bootstrap the motherboard. (Socketed BIOS chips are widely used, also.) By booting the motherboard, the memory, circuitry, and peripherals are tested and configured. This process is known as a computer Power-On Self Test (POST) and may include testing some of the following devices: floppy drive, network controller, CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive, SCSI hard drive, IDE, EIDE, or SATA hard drive, External USB memory storage device. Open Drivers collect Mainboard Drivers and Utilities driver for one-stop download, update and installation service. All Mainboard Drivers and Utilities for VIA, Tyan, Soltek, SiS, SigmaTel, nVIDIA, MSI, Leadtek, JMicron, Intel, GigaByte, Gainward, EPoX, ECS, Chaintech, Biostar, ATI Technology, ASUS, Aopen, AMD, ALI, Acorp, Abit have been listed in Open Drivers. Drivers for Mainboard Drivers and Utilities have been categorized by device manufacturers. The main driver developers of Mainboard Drivers and Utilities can be listed.

DISPLAY VIDEO DRIVER
A video card, also known as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, or graphics card, is an expansion card whose function is to generate and output images to a display. Some video cards offer added functions, such as video capture, TV tuner adapter, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding, FireWire, light pen, TV output, or the ability to connect multiple monitors. A misconception regarding high end video cards is that they are strictly used for video games. High end video cards have a much broader range of capability; for example, they play a very important role for graphic designers and 3D animators, who tend to require optimum displays as well as faster rendering. Video cards are not used exclusively in IBM type PCs; they have been used in devices such as Commodore Amiga (connected by the slots Zorro II and Zorro III), Apple II, Apple Macintosh, Atari Mega ST/TT (attached to the MegaBus or VME interface), Spectravideo SVI-328, MSX, and in video game consoles. Video hardware can be integrated on the mainboard, as it often happened with early computers; in this configuration it was sometimes referred to as a video controller or graphics controller. The video BIOS or firmware contains the basic program that governs the video card's operations and provides the instructions that allow the computer and software to interact with the card. It may contain information on the memory timing, operating speeds and voltages of the graphics processor and RAM and other information. It is sometimes possible to change the BIOS (e.g. to enable factory-locked settings for higher performance) although this is typically only done by video card overclockers, and has the potential to irreversibly damage the card. Open Drivers collect Display and Video driver for one-stop download, update and installation service. All Display and Video for Yuan, XGI, Voyetra, Village Tronic, VideoLogic, VIA, V-Gear, Typhoon, Tyan, Twinhan, Trident, Terratec, Tekram, SiS, SIIG, Sapphire, S3 Graphics, Prolink, PowerVR, Pinnacle Systems, PcChips, nVIDIA, MSI, Matrox, LifeView, Leadtek, Kworld, Intel, InnoVISION Multimedia, Hercules, Hauppauge, GigaByte, Genius, Gainward, Elsa, DisplayLink, Diamond, Creative, Compro, Cirrus Logic have been listed in Open Drivers.
