The memory controller hub in a PC -- often called the northbridge -- is one of two chips in the core logic chipset on a PC motherboard; the other chip in the set is usually called the southbridge. The northbridge typically handles communications among the CPU, the RAM, the BIOS ROM, the PCI-E (or AGP) video adapter, and the southbridge chip.
