Motherboard design

Post by kosmisk »

Is it possible to build a x86 motherboard? I have done little research and here is what my design looks like right now:

yes, so far it's a rats nest, non-routed and uses only the most important IC footprints
The components is not in the perfect position either, but i will fix this when it's time to route.
routing is tricky in this situations, one needs to take care about the trace width, length, spacing to other traces and vias to switch between layers.
but before this i must do more research about power distribution, that will be the next step.
