What is motherboard north?
Maybe you mean "northbridge"? in that case:The northbridge has historically been one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a PC motherboard. The northbridge is the memory hub controller.
What is the definition of southbridge chipset?
The Southbridge, also known as an I/O Controller Hub (ICH) or a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) in Intel systems (AMD, VIA, SiS and others usually use 'southbridge'), is a chip that implements the "slower" capabilities of the motherboard in a northbridge/southbridge chipset computer architecture.The southbridge can usually be distinguished from the northbridge by not being directly connected to the CPU. Rather, the northbridge ties the southbridge to the CPU. Through the use of controller integrated channel circuitry, the northbridge can directly link signals from the I/O units to the CPU for data control and access.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southbridge_(computing)
What is the differences between the southbridge and the northbridge?
The north and south bridge refer to the data channels to the CPU. The memory goes to CPU using the north bridge. And the mouse, keyboard, CD ROM, HDD, ext data flows to the CPU using the southbridge. The northbridge is the portion of the chipset HUB that connects faster I/O buses (for example, an AGP bus) to the system bus. Northbridge chip tends to be larger than the southbridge chip. The southbridge is the HUB that connects to slower I/O buses (for example, an ISA bus) to the system bus. The Northbridge and the Southbridge are known as the chipset on the motherboard. These set of chips collectively control the memory cache, external bus, and some peripherals. There is a fast end of the hub, and there is a slow end of the hub. The fast end of the hub is the Northbridge, containing the graphics and memory controller connecting to the system bus. The slower end of the hub is the Southbridge, containing the I/O controller hub.
Where are two places that the memory controller might be located in modern PC?
Northbridge and the processor.
What are the two key chips or chipsets on a motherboard?
Outside of the CPU and the memory, the two main chips on the motherboard are the Northbridge and the Southbridge. Traditionally, the Northbridge contained the AGP controller, the memory controller, and the bus to the CPU. It is also connected to the Southbridge which is connected to the peripheral bus, the BIOS, the front panel, the keyboard, sound, and the hard drive controller. So functionally speaking, the Northbridge is closest to the CPU and the memory, and the Southbridge is closest to the user.
What is north gate and south gate in a motherboard and what do they control?
It is really northbridge and southbridge. They are the chipset. The northbridge is the main system bus, the main peripheral bus controller, and often the memory controller and even integrated graphics or AGP controller in some cases. The southbridge controls peripherals and things closer to the user, ranging from the ROM BIOS, the mouse, the keyboard, disk controller, sound controller, USB and more.
What is the AMD 770 Northbridge Chipset processors used with?
The Northbridge chipset is the processor of the computer, this is known as the brain of the computer. The 770 Northbridge chipset is conception of ATI for AMD.
What processors is used with amd 770 northbridge chipset?
The Northbridge chipset is the processor of the computer, this is known as the brain of the computer. The 770 Northbridge chipset is conception of ATI for AMD.
What was the first component of the computer that would best be characterized as a traffic cop?
It's called the Northbridge Chipset. It's a memory controller hub that handles communication between the CPU, memory, PCI cards, and AGP cards. The term came from the position/location of the Northbridge Chipset on the Motherboard. being placed "north" of the CPU. It communicates to the CPU via the "Front Side Bus" (FSB)
The slower end of the hub interface contains the youO controller hub?
South Bridge
What is the slower end of the hub interface that contains the you IO controller hub?
South Bridge
What is the function of the memory controller chip?
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.
