I think because the semi-conductors(transisters) are planted in silicon (it's just the way they build them now to make them so small) .Silicon is the material that "chips" are made of.
Certain makes of chipsets are used for peripheral control. Known as 'southbridge' and 'northbridge'. They control things like the keyboard, mouse, USBs and disk drives. They control the flow into and out of, the main CPU processor.
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
If the motherboard is working and computer is running, you can use third party software. I recommend CPUZ. It is light yet gives accurate information about cpu, motherboard, ram and others. visit www.cpuid.com to download the latest version.
the sandy bridge chipset uses a single chipset housing
The Nehalem chipset family typically uses a single chipset housing on the motherboard. This housing integrates multiple functions, including the memory controller and the PCIe controller, which streamline the design and improve performance. It is designed to support Intel's Core i7 processors and other related architectures.
Socket 775 for Intel®
Chipset and CPU define the type of memory.

A Pentium motherboard is not inherently compatible with an Intel i3 processor because compatibility depends on the specific motherboard model and its chipset. Pentium and i3 processors may use different socket types, so it's essential to check the motherboard’s specifications to determine if it supports the i3. If the socket type and chipset are compatible, then it may work; otherwise, you would need a different motherboard for the i3.
you can use software to identify the hardware onboard (such as cpuz)
The motherboard does everything in a computer. The processing center and the storage system is built on the motherboard in a computer.
The chipset and the motherboard are the primary determination here. In fact there have been motherboards available which can take a couple different kinds of ram (so you can go with whatever is cheap) although not at the same time, but with the same CPU. Pretty much, whatever your motherboard takes, that's what you've gotta use.
Radeon HD 6530d is the better one of the two. it is always better to have a independent video card then the onboard video chipset, because the onboard chipset uses the ram from the motherboard and a independent video card has its own ram to use and never uses the systems ram. so all in all, your computer will run games better with a independent video card then a onboard chipset.
