What is the most important part of the computer.

[10344]

I think that the 2 most important parts is the motherboard and the processor.

I always hype on about the MB ... but, it won't work very well without the other components.

 

[pikakilla]

um not sure what the point of this is sorry
a pc wont work without a cpu, a psu or a motherboard

 

[Me__2001]

the motherboard is the most important but it has to be matched accordingly with the rest of the system

 

[CITech]

I voted "other" because the most important part of my computer is ME

As ever, the same maxim applies, all parts are
equal, the weakest link determines the performance of all the other parts.

But, for sake of argument, the motherboard. I've learnt, over years, it makes the most difference. It IS worth spending extra here.

The operator

Thats what Liveware is

I think its that 'lump of Silicon'

The electric supply is kinda helpful.

Seriously, i think all the parts are as important as each other. PC's wont work with a bit missing.....But you do need a good operator.

The Motherboard as everything else is plugged in to it

 

[murdoch]

Probably the Motherboard, but without power nothing would work?

 

[Quadophile]

Everything is important!

Upon thinking this through.....

the most important part A broken or loose component?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Without all the parts needed it's pretty useless. But I would say the MB and PSU.

Ya know, looking at that, imo that's probably about right.

Those two components will have the most influence on the performance of any machine.

It's all very well to say 'you need all the parts for it to work' (which I actually have said ) but if we are to view the original question as to which parts are the most important, which could mean will influence a machine's performance the most, then it has to be the Motherboard and PSU. Definitely not worth skimping here.

And, ohmigawd, I've come over all sortta sensible
