Isn't a motherboard just a large PCB with sockets?

    maybe i'm getting my terminology bass ackwards, but i thought PCB meant just the platform with connections between contact points, hence printed circuit board, while a motherboard is a PCB with all the components, integrated shit (BIOS, onboard graphics/audio, wifi, etc.) soldered on and ready to build
