Which two activities are normally controlled by the Northbridge part of the chipset? (Choose two.)
The Northbridge chipset is the processor of the computer, this is known as the brain of the computer. The 770 Northbridge chipset is conception of ATI for AMD.

Beginning with the Intel 1800 chipset, there are two main chips of the chipset. These are called the Northbridge and the Southbridge.
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.

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
The Northbridge chipset
The Front-Side Bus lies between the CPU and the Northbridge chipset. The Northbridge chipset controls the highspeed devices on the motherboard such as PCI components, Memory, and AGP Video, however the Northbridge needs a direct communication link to the CPU in order to when to send data to control these devices. That's where the FSB comes into play and provides that direct link. One wishing to overclock their system must take into the speed of the Northbridge chipset as it plays an important part in determining Overclocking speeds.
The chipset is on the motherboard, not in the ROM BIOS. The chipset chips provide most of the board logic and circuitry. Depending on the board, the chipset contains the memory controller, the FSB logic, the peripheral interface logic, and controlled various peripheral. There are generally 2 chipset chips, the northbridge and the south bridge. The northbridge does the more major tasks closer to the CPU and memory, while the southbridge does tasks that are closer to the user. For instance the memory controller, AGP controller or other built-in video controller, the main system bus, and often the expansion socket logic are all in the northbridge. The southbridge is connected to things such as the ROM BIOS, any security features, the hard drive controller, the keyboard, mouse, and nearly all the sockets on the back of the computer.
