what is a north or south bridge?


That is kind of like "what is a CPU?" in terms of "questions you should use Google for".

They are used primarily to transport goods and people over bodies of water...

In the North, and South cardinal compass directions respectively.


They have also been known to collapse.

*interesting fact*

a full grown possum can cross the golden gate bridge in about an hour, a dead possum cannot.

SouthBridge is a city in Worcester County, Massachusetts.

I thought the North Bridge referred to heading North from Canada to the US from Windsor to Detroit.
That should make the South Bridge the return trip, wouldn't it?

Wow. Talk about mean. The north and south bridge are parts of the chipset that....regulate....the transfer of data betwean every part of the computer. The north bridge connects to the CPU, RAM, possibly the back panel connections (not 100% on that), and to the south bridge. The south bridge connects to the north bridge, hard drives optical drives and the like, and the PCI and PCI-E slots. I'm shour some of that is wrong but it should give you a general idea.

To the rest of you. can you say that you always knew what a N/S bridge was? Or even a CPU? If you say yes then you are lying. When you were five years old you probably could not say north, south, or bridge correctly so don't be so harsh. It is a little surprising for someone that has posted so much but he may not be posting on this part of the forums.
Don't worry about it.  If it's not good at stock, then it's not good.

What if it's still stuck to the bumper of the car that hit it?

I say "yes". I knew even before I was born. H*ll, I knew even before I was conceived!

We have grown accustomed to some of the things that smeezekitty posts.  He has lost credibility with many users here.

Additionally in a way it's a poke-back for his recent post:

LOL
you dont know what disk space is

The south bridge controls slow stuff (almost all external to the motherboard)

the North Bridge works with RAM,AGP, and PCI-E (PCI, USB, and so forth are handled by the southbridge).

Any ways. Is there any difference betwean the Q9550 and the Q9650 other than the .17gHz and the price?
