The inventive motherboard is portably configured to serve one or more computers, preferably a personal computer or laptop. The portable motherboard provides a computer box with a brain. Alternatively, where a computer with a brain is slow, the portable motherboard may be used to boost the brainpower of the slow computer. Whether the portable motherboard brings life to a computer box or boosts the microprocessor power of a computer containing an internal microprocessor, the portable motherboard is a powerful invention that makes microprocessor power more efficient and ubiquitous. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer system comprising: a computer box without a processor for performing computing operations, said computer box comprising: a housing;
