Embodiment Construction

[0024] Figure 4 Shown is a schematic diagram of some components of a motherboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. The motherboard 400 includes a plurality of slot groups 410_1 - 410_N, an interface controller 420 and a bus 430 . The slot groups 410_1 - 410_N each include a first memory slot 411 and a second memory slot 412 . Wherein, each of the first memory slot 411 and the second memory slot 412 has a plurality of connection terminals. For the convenience of description, the following will take the first memory slot 411 and the second memory slot 412 each having three connection terminals as an example for illustration.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first memory slot 411 has three connection terminals TM1(1)˜TM1(3), and the second memory slot 412 has three connection terminals TM2(1)˜TM2(3). In other words, the slot groups 410_1 - 410_N respectively correspond to six connection terminals TM1 ( 1 ) - TM1 ( 3 ) and TM2 ( 1 ) - TM2 ( 3 ). In the over...

Abstract

The invention provides an interface control method for a mainboard and memory slots thereof. The mainboard comprises a plurality of slot groups, a bus and an interface controller, wherein each of the slot groups comprises a first memory slot and a second memory slot which are connected to the bus respectively; the first memory slot and the second memory slot form two different access addresses; the interface controller sends a plurality of pin control signals to corresponding slot groups to make the two access addresses of the first memory slot and the second memory slot of a using slot groupamong the slot groups different from two access addresses of the first memory slot and the second memory slot of the other slot groups; and the interface controller performs an access action on the using slot group through the bus.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a motherboard, and in particular to a motherboard capable of effectively utilizing memory modules. Background technique [0002] A personal computer system is mainly composed of a motherboard, an interface card, and peripheral devices. The motherboard can be said to be the heart of the computer system. On the motherboard, in addition to the central processing unit (CPU), control chipset (chip set) and slots for installing interface cards, there are also several memory slots for installing memory modules (memory module). A memory module is composed of several memory components, and different numbers of memory modules can be installed on the motherboard according to user's requirements. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of some components of a known motherboard. refer to figure 1 , the known motherboard 100 includes memory slots 111 - 116 , an interface controller 120 and a system management bus (system mana...
