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.
