Hi, I have a doubt that whether the processor is removable from a motherboard, can any one explain me about course of action of motherboard and processor in the operating system and how it works? Guide me. Thanks in advance.

In a laptop, this is rarely possible, but in regards to desktops, see below.

There are VERY few motherboards that have the CPU (processor) soldered on the board. I'm fairly certain 100% of all new(er) computers (Read 7 years and newer) have removable CPUs.

I'm not sure why you would want to remove the CPU though, especially if it's an older computer as you'll be very hard-pressed to find any upgrades for it.

In regards to the operating system...you can't have one without a motherboard or CPU.

The motherboard is the body of the computer (nervous system, etc.) and the CPU is the brain. That's about the best metaphor I can put it in.

I hope this helps.

actually Gizmo

MOST laptops since pentum3 and the athlons -presant are removable cpu's

BUT!

most are NOT the same socket as their desktop counter parts
AND they are not easy to get to
AND unlike desktops you need a screwdriver to remove the chip... and if you slip you WILL RUIN the mobo *and lappy mobos are VERY pricey*

on desktops it's probally 1/100.000 chance that it's not removable

they are easy to get to/find and easy to remove
