Chipset Motherboard 

 

The chipset is a component on the motherboard that serves as a regulator or a divider in the motherboard functions. Embedded on the motherboard chipset to improve the working motherboard. In the motherboard chipset are known two types, namely:

1. Chipset Northbridge chipset is the main regulator of the data flow processor performance related to major components such as memory slots, AGP slots, PCI slots and other others, usually located on the Northbridge chipset or processor component that is closer to the processor. 
2. Southbridge chipset is the chipset that functions as a regulator of the data flow processor performance-related component of the secondary (not the major component), such as: control IDE hard drive, drive, DMA, interrupt and others.

Chipset greatly affect the performance of the computer because the chipset also affect the speed of the process of prosessr. Each chipset motherboardmenggunakan different, sometimes every brand motherboard is not necessarily the same as the brand chipset. the type of chipset used on the motherboard will affect:

Type processor that will be used on the motherboard

•      completeness of I / O ports that are used

•      Type display adapter used

•      This type of memory that supports motherboard

•      Completeness additional features on the motherboard.  

From the description above can be concluded that when you want to buy a motherboar then first check the existing chipset (the brand and chipset capabilities), and the completeness of the motherboard components.
