Dutch term or phrase: systeemkaart
Hello,

I am translating a small brochure for Hardware problems where I read this sentence:
"Controleer of de kaarten en processor(en) goed op de systeemkaart vastzitten."

Could you tell me what "systeemkaart" is??
Thank you,
Francisco

Explanation:
We used to call the mother boards, but I guess it's no longer 'bon ton' to call it the mother of all boards...

The other kaarten are (extension) cards, BTW.
