Sense of Chipset

    Physically, the chipset in the form of a small set of ICs or chips that are designed to work together and have certain functions. On computer hardware systems, this chipset can be found on the motherboard, cards (cards) expansion, for example on the graphics card (video card), or on any other computer equipment. Function is not the same chipset on the motherboard with a chipset on the expansion cards. Similarly, the function of the chipset on the other computer equipment. Each has its own specific function. The chipset is actually not always consist of a set of IC or chip set, sometimes found only consists of a chip alone.
   The chipset on the video card serves to control the three-dimensional graphics rendering and output an image on the monitor. While the chipset on the motherboard works to control the input and output (input and output) are fundamental to the computer. Keep in mind, that is discussed in this chapter focused on the chipset on the motherboard, not the chipset that is on another computer or device components.

More obviously, it can be said that a common chipset on the motherboard works to organize the flow of data from one component to another component. For example, order the data from the CPU (processor) to graphics card (video card) or system memory (RAM), as well as directing the flow of data through the PCI bus, IDE drives and I / O ports In this case, can be likened to that chipset seem to work as a 'traffic cop' data flow regulator on the motherboard of a PC (Personal Computer).
   In addition to organizing the flow of data, the chipset is also shaping the tool what can be supported by the PC, and also determine the speed of the FSB (Front Side Bus), memory bus, bus graphics, memory capacity and the type that can be supported by the motherboard in question, and determine IDE standard, the type of ports supported by the system.
In fact, more detail further explained that the traditional chipset on the motherboard consists of two parts, namely Northbridge and Southbridge. Chipset common tasks as described above, divided by the second part of the chipset. Each part of the chipset (Northbridge or Southbridge) has its own tasks that are specific and appropriate work functions.
