Does the Sandy Bridge chipset family use two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset housing?
the sandy bridge chipset uses a single chipset housing
What two parts make up the motherboard chipset?
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
Does the Nehalem chipset uses two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset housing?
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
What part of the chipset connects directly to the processor the north bridge or south bridge?
North bridge
Does the Nehalem chipset family use two chipset housings on the motherboard or a single chipset houseing?
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
What are the two main chips of the chipset?
North Bridge and South Bridge. The North Bridge is the faster end of the hub containing the graphics and memory controller and connects to the system bus. The South Bridge is the slower end of the hub and contains the I/O controller hub. All I/O devices with the exception of display and memory are connected by the slower South Bridge.
Which part of the chipset connects directly to the processor the North Bridge or the South Bridge?
north bridge
Which part of a Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor the North Bridge or the South Bridge?
The North Bridge
What is an expansion bridge?
bridge expansion is when one side of the bridge needs to be propped up
