With the steadily crumbling costs and admeasurement of chip circuits, it is now accessible to accommodate abutment for abounding peripherals on the motherboard. By accumulation abounding functions on one PCB, the concrete admeasurement and absolute amount of the arrangement may be reduced; awful chip motherboards are appropriately abnormally accepted in baby anatomy agency and account computers.
For example, the ECS RS485M-M,5 a archetypal avant-garde account motherboard for computers based on AMD processors, has on-board abutment for a actual ample ambit of peripherals:
deejay controllers for a billowing deejay drive, up to 2 PATA drives, and up to 6 SATA drives (including RAID 0/1 support)
chip cartoon ambassador acknowledging 2D and 3D graphics, with VGA and TV output
chip complete agenda acknowledging 8-channel (7.1) audio and S/PDIF output
Fast Ethernet arrangement ambassador for 10/100 Mbit networking
USB 2.0 ambassador acknowledging up to 12 USB ports
IrDA ambassador for bittersweet abstracts advice (e.g. with an IrDA-enabled cellular buzz or printer)
temperature, voltage, and fan-speed sensors that acquiescecomputer application to adviser the bloom of computer components
Expansion cards to abutment all of these functions would accept amount hundreds of dollars alike a decade ago; however, as of April 2007 such awful chip motherboards are accessible for as little as $30 in the US
