A chipset is a set of highly optimized, tightly inter-related ICs and circuits which, taken together, handle virtually all of the support functions for a motherboard. It is includes the CPU, the main memory, the secondary cache, other devices situated on the ISA, PCI, and AGP buses, IDE, SATA, FDD. The chipset also controls data flow to and from hard disks, and other devices connected to the IDE channels.
CPUs and hardware features are depending up on a PC. New chipsets must be developed to implement those functions. For example, the Intel 430HX chipset supports the Pentium CPU and EDO RAM. Their 430VX chipset supports use of the Pentium CPU, the Universal Serial BUS and SDRAM.
The chipset manufacturers are Intel, VIA, SIS, and Opti.
