They are the one who sends data to the processor... The north bridge also the who controls video card,expansion cards or graphics cards and south bridge controls the drives and onboard devices.
North Bridge
North bridge connects the processor, memory and video card. South bridge connects all the peripherals whether it is connected using USB, ISA, and PCI connector. Note. South Bridge is also connected to north bridge
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
Well, North America was connected to Asia at one point by a land bridge
The Bering Land Bridge.
