If you have North and South Bridge on your computer it will be all you will need not no more then 2 Bridges r VERY POWERFUL chipsets it will speed your computer up tremendously compairing to no bridges on your motherboard...

tecnickly easyest way of explaning the way it works and all is:

Processor is your Engine - RAM is your Gas - HardDrive is your cargo - North Bridge and South Bridge is your High Way...

some computer may have just a north or south bridge some have both...

North Bridge: does all the work to and from RAM to Processor RAM goes to and from Harddrive and processor ... to and from North to South bridge directly

SouthBridge: does the PCI slots and Graphics Chipset when there is info goin through your Graphics card starts with :

Harddrive to RAM to Processor to North Bridge to South Bridge to Graphics Chipset and back up to your Processor and RAM same way it came in...

for some computers it works like that some dont there are deffrent ways how other computers work but if u have a single North bridge it will do all the work that ur South bridge dont.

hope this helps out :)
