What is the chipset also known as?
CPU bus
Which unit of CPU control the overall operation of computer?
The Central Processing Unit (CPU)
What unit is part of CPU and supervises operation of the computer system?
computer hardware
Why is CPU necessary?
CPU is very essential part of your computer.It is the brain of computer. without CPU there is no use of the monitor,mouse or keyborad.
Is CPU the brand of the computer?
CPU is short for Central Processing Unit, and is an essential part of a personal computer. It is not a brand, because it is in all computers.
What components are connected to the Northbridge chipset and the Southbridge chipset?
there really isn't anything connected to it but the motherboard, its what it dose. here is a picture of what it dose http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/Northsouthbridge.svg
What is a 462 chipset?
A 462Chipset indicates that the CPU will fit into socket 462. So if you have a motherboard with a 462 Chipset and you want to upgrade or change your CPU you have to ensure it will fit into socket 462.
What is the difference between chipset and original motherboard?
RAM=Random Access Memory, used for fast swapping of data on computer Processor= a small chip on the motherboard performing millions+calculations a second. your computer uses ram all the time to keep background apps open, and to basically run everything. your computer uses your processor when you do graphic intensive or calculation intensive things, such as gaming, video converting, multiple things at once, like running Photoshop, a video encoder, your internet browser, and watching a movie. now if you want to know which to upgrade, it depends on the current status of your computer, and your aim of the upgrade.
Is a chipset and a socket the same thing for a computer motherboard?
No :) A chipset is an electronic chip located on the board which manages the motherboard and processes some data. A socket is a type of female plug on which you plug a removable electronic chip (CPU for example)
What part of the computer sends data to CPU?
In the broadest sense, the motherboard sends data to the CPU. To be more specific, it would be the chipset, and particularly the northbridge.To follow the pathway, it works something like this. The user loads a program which is on the hard drive. The hard drive sends data to the hard drive bus controller which is connected to the southbridge of the chipset. Then that goes to the northbridge into memory and back, and from the northbridge to the CPU. Of course, some modern computers use a single chipset bridge, and in that case, the other components are inside the CPU.
What is the purpose of the amd sb710 southbridge chipset to the motherboard?
The motherboard is a circuit board that the chipset plugs into or is soldered into. Along with hundreds of other components on a motherboard, it is the part that actually does the computing in a computer.
What was the first component of the computer that would best be characterized as a traffic cop?
It's called the Northbridge Chipset. It's a memory controller hub that handles communication between the CPU, memory, PCI cards, and AGP cards. The term came from the position/location of the Northbridge Chipset on the Motherboard. being placed "north" of the CPU. It communicates to the CPU via the "Front Side Bus" (FSB)
