    Chip set HELP
    « on: April 04, 2008, 11:58:50 AM »
    I have a Q/A about Chip sets??

    The Noth Brige Chip controles Data from the CPU and AGP Slot  and Main Memory.

    The South Brige controlles Data from the PCI Slots.

    So my Q/A is ...I am building a PC just for Computer Graphics and Animation  and Video and Audio editting.
    And just one Video card with no fancy outpus or things like that.

    So how do I know what Motherboards Chip Set is good for that  they all say they can do the job??

      They probably all can...
      Unless your building a high end gaming machine the choice of chipset isn't that important IMO. Just get a motherboard that supports the hardware you want to install on it.
      Depending on the graphics card you want, consider getting a mobo with either Crossfire (ATI) or SLI (Nvidia) support. That way you can install a second graphics card at a later point if you need the extra power.

      And when you've found a couple of motherboards you like, google them to see if any reviews or comments from other buyers are available.
      Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
