Chipsets Northbridge Circuitry or chips that performs one very important function: management of high-speed peripheral communications. Ex: processor to AGP and PCIe, processor-to-memory communications... Southbridge Responsible for providing support to onboard peripherals (PS/2, Parallel, IDE, and so on), managing their communications with the rest resources of the computer.
