south bridge. good luck on that quiz
Beginning with the Intel 1800 chipset, there are two main chips of the chipset. These are called the Northbridge and the Southbridge.
False.
These chips are called a "Chipset", A chipset is usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance
the sandy bridge chipset uses a single chipset housing
Chipset drivers are software that enables the operating system to use the features of the corresponding chipset.
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
The speed of PCI slots is not dictated by the chipset
The chipset is the device that manages everything. The processor just processes it but the chipset transports, controls and manages the output and input data.
Intel 865G chipset
Chipset refers to integrated circuits that perform specific functions. Usually, chipset is used when referring to functions performed for the CPU, but there are other kinds of chipsets. Housing the chipset is arguably the most important function of a motherboard.
1. * Q06: How can I tell if my motherboard supports Ultra DMA? A06: Pentium motherboards that have the Intel TX Chipset, Pentium II motherboards starting with the Intel LX, BX and subsequent Intel Chipsets have UDMA capability. The chipset is displayed on system startup, which is called CMOS Setup. If unsure, consult system or motherboard documentation or manufacturer for chipset and UDMA performance verification.
