Generally there are Northbridge and Southbridge (aka ICH for Intel motherboards) components. Answer: Chipset Is made up of the North Bridge and South Bridge Architecture, They are groups of Integrated Circuits (IC)'s; these two groups of Integrated Circuits Represent the computers nervous system, all data must pass through the Chipset. 1. Faster components are connected to the North Bridge. · CPU(Central Processing Unit) Ø CPU connected to North Bridge using the Front side Bus (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your Front side Bus!). · RAM (Random Access Memory) Ø RAM connected to North Bridge using the Memory Bus (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your Memory Bus!). · L2 Cache (Type of memory) Ø L2 Cache connected to North Bridge using Backside Bus (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your Backside Bus!). · AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) (Bus Type: Local Video)1. The North Bridge is connected to the South Bridge thru the PCI Bus Ø PCI Slots Are connected to the PCI Bus( plug N Play) (Bus Type: Local) Ø Tip: (Know the speed of your PCI Bus!). 1. Slower components are connected to the South Bridge · Keyboard (Bus Type: Expansion) · Mouse (Bus Type: Expansion) · USB (Bus Type: Expansion) · IEEE 1394 Fire wire (Bus Type: Expansion) · EIDE (devices) (Bus Type: Expansion) Although the North Bridge South Bridge Architecture is still used, it's an old and Replaced Solution. Newer Faster Solution: HUB Architecture

Does the Nehalem chipset uses two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset housing?
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
Does the Nehalem chipset family use two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset houseing?
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
Does the Sandy Bridge chipset family use two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset housing?
the sandy bridge chipset uses a single chipset housing
What two features of a motherboard determine which processors a board can support?
Processor socket and chipset
Which two motherboard features must be compatible when selecting a new CPU Choose two?
chipset and socket type
What is motherboard north?
Maybe you mean "northbridge"? in that case:The northbridge has historically been one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a PC motherboard. The northbridge is the memory hub controller.
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
Beginning with the Intel I800 chipset what are the two main chips of the chipset called?
Beginning with the Intel 1800 chipset, there are two main chips of the chipset. These are called the Northbridge and the Southbridge.
Which two activates are normally controlled by the northbridge part of the chipset?
Which two activities are normally controlled by the Northbridge part of the chipset? (Choose two.)
Is an On board intergrated Intel graphics with an Intel H61 Express chipset any good for a graphics card or would i be better off with an AMD Radeon HD 6530d Graphics card?
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.
I am using windows 7 64x bit with 4gb ram when I try adding an additional 4gb the motherboard beep and computer does not boot up?
If you are sure that both memory pieces are working then you can have at least two explanations to what is happening. First one is the chipset that you have on your motherboard does not support more than 4 Gb of RAM (read the manual for more details). Second is the memory you both cannot work with your motherboard because it uses to low frequency.
What are the two most important components of a chipset?
A chip and a set
