What is the difference between chipset and original motherboard?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Processor otherwise known as the CPU, IS the actual computer. It performs the instructions written in the software and makes decisions based on mathematical rules. The chipset is what interfaces all of the memory and devices internal and external to your computer. When the CPU wants to access a disk drive, memory the video card, sound card - almost anything and everything. It's the chipset's job to handle it. CPU tell's it what it wants to do and where to get or send it and the chipset takes care of the details. It's called a chipset because originally it was a set of chips (integrated circuits). These days, with advances in computer technology all of this is done by single chip. Look at it this way... Your conscious part of your brain is the CPU (or processor). The parts of the brain responsible for respiration, the heart and the actual sending of nerve impulses that move your limbs is the chipset.

Answer 3

Your question isn't exactly direct... The chipset is the component that basically makes up your motherboard.. Its divided into 2 main parts.. First you have your NorthBridge (controls most primary functions) and your Southbridge (the left over good'ins) Your chipset carries a very common name im sure such as Intel 815G 865G 925x 915G : AMD (no longer making chipsets) Usually with an AMD setup you will have a 3rd party chipset such as VIAK8T800 or VIA KM-266.. Among the more popular AMD compatible chipsets are by nVidia such as Nforce 2 etc... I hope this helps you further identify what a chipset actually is and to further your knowledge of computer components!!

Answer 4

The chipset and processor are both major components inside a computer. The processor is the main CPU or central processing unit that does the processing or main work. The chipset is part of the motherboard that communicates with the computer's CPU, memory, and hardware.

Answer 5

The motherboard maintains all the connections from all the different hardware within the computer. A 'processor' is any of the little black chips found on the boards; these contain thousands of transistors that translate the 0's and 1's of the computer into a functioning unit. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a beefed up processor connected to the motherboard. The CPU switches different signals from the different hardware.

Answer 6

What most people call the "processor" is the CPU or central processing unit. It is what follows the instructions in software by performing logical, arithmetic, and I/O operations.

The CPU is just one of the chips connected to the motherboard. The motherboard is the main circuit board in the computer. Everything in the machine connects to it. Other things on the motherboard include the chipset logic that controls most of what the CPU doesn't control, the various signal buses, and various controllers.

Answer 7

the processor processes the information it recieves. the chipset is responsible for routing all traffic to and from the processor.

Answer 8

Motherboard is the specific board itself that has memory slots, expansion card slots, IDE connectors, etc. The chipset is sort of like the software that runs on the board.

Answer 9

Chipset is responsible for communication between CPU and other computer parts. Chipset is responsible for communication between CPU and other computer parts.

Answer 10

A chipset offers a full set of chips for a computer (hence why it is called a chipset) while a video card only provides video functionality.
