How can you tell what computer chips are for?

When you look inside a typical desktop computer or personal computer, you can see many integrated circuits ("chips").Every chip has something written on it.This chip labeling includes the manufacturer's name or logo, the part number, and a code indicating when it was manufactured.Typically you can go to the manufacturer's web site, look up the part number, and get a data sheet that has everything you ever wanted to know about that chip, and then some.With a little experience, the function of many chips can be recognized from their shape and position in the computer, even without reading the part chip labeling.In a typical desktop or laptop computer, it's pretty easy to pick out the CPU chip, DRAM, a northbridge chip, a southbridge chip, a video controller chip, an audio chip, a Flash chip to hold the BIOS -- there may be a few other miscellaneous chips that are more difficult to figure out their function.

Where is the governor located on a 1997 Honda Civic LX and how do you take it off?

It has no governor. The speed or revs are computer controlled. You can't make it go any faster than the computer is set for. You would need to have the computer reprogrammed if you wish to go faster. If you're ok with blowing up your engine, you can chip your ECU and drop in a eBay "performance" chip to remove the rev limiter.
