No. The graphics chipset on a PS2 is integrated into the motherboard and is not a separate component. It can not be removed from the PS2.
yes...
a chipset is a set of chips on the motherboard that collectively control the memory, buses on the motherboard, and some peripherals. High-performances chipsets-the X58bchipset supports the Intel LGA1366scoket Mainstream desktop chipsets-The P45,P43,P35,G45 and G31 chipset supports Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo Intel processers. Value desktop-The 910GL,845E,845G chipset supports the Pentium 4,Celeron,and Celeron, and Celeron D processors in low-end systems. Older value desktops-the 845 and 845GL chipset support the Pentium 4 or Celeron processeor in a low-end system using the 478PGA socket
Yes, as long as you are not into overclocking.
yes
No lol
Install the motherboard first. The drives will have wiring harness to connect to the motherboard.
It depends on the desktop computer. It may be, but check with your manufacturer.
'Best' is a loaded term. Do you want the motherboard with the most features, the fastest stock, the most overclockable, do you want a 'desktop' or 'sever' motherbaord, etc.? At the moment, the "Intel LGA1366 Platform/Intel X58 chipset" is the top of the line motherboards for Intel CPUs, and "AM2+/ATI 790FX chipset" for AMD. This will chance quickly, as computer hardware always does. AMD vs Intel, Intel at the moment has the fastest CPUs, but AMD tends to be better on price/performance.
Expansion ports to the rear.
No, not usually. Check with your motherboard specifications to see what RAM is needed and the maximum RAM your motherboard can handle.
the new line of processors from Intel is the i7 series. These are quad core products that require a new chipset and motherboard, different than ones that support anything before. you can find more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_3
