| 232905 | 2004-04-29 10:20:00 | what you have been looking at is the passive heatsink for the northbridge. under that heatsink (which may be glued on) is a flat chip. | tweak'e (174) | ||

| 232908 | 2004-04-30 00:24:00 | Time to expose a bit more of my lack of knowledge. What the hell is a North Bridge? Does it have a South Bridge too ? Reminds me of Singapore. North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road. :8} :8} :8} |

| 232911 | 2004-04-30 00:41:00 | The Northbridge is a chipset (from Intel) that communicates with the CPU and controls interaction with memory, PCI bus, Level 2 cache, and AGP activities . The Northbridge communicates with the CPU using the frontside bus . Northbridge is one part of a two-part chipset called Northbridge and Southbridge . (Just like Singapore . . ) Southbridge handles the input/output functions of the chipset . |
