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.

What option interfaces with the memory controller chip to get lines of code into the CPU?
Pre-fetch - a component of the pipeline interfaces with the MCC (Memory Controller Chip) to get lines of code into the CPU
What do you mean by on-chip memory in micro controller?
It is integrated with Processor itself. Also called Cache Memory.
What is logic chip?
In terms of computing, a logic chip is a type of controller or process chip that exists to perform a certain set of instructions. The opposite of a logic chip is a memory chip.
What is the differencebetween on-chip and off-chip memory?
On-chip memory is a memory that resides on microcontroller itself. e.g RAM. It may be one of the Internal RAM or Special Function Register (SFR). Off-chip memory is external ROM or EPROM.
Why the trend is to put more control such as the graphics controller and the memory controller in the processor rather than in the chip set?
To have more speed in the proccesor.
Why do you think the trend is to put more control such as the graphics controller and the memory controller in the processor rather than in the chipset?
People are more likely to put in a graphics controller and memory controller into their computers because it is cheaper and easier than adding things to the chip set.

What device enables a PC to retrieve a specific row of data from system memory and place it on the external data bus?
Memory Controller Chip
How micro controller differs from micro processor?
micro controller contain system on chip memory, timers,counters where as a micro processor doesn't contain all these
Need of interface in microprocessor?
the principle function of memory interfacing is to enable the microprocessor to read or write into a register of the memory chip
