    Solution

    A chipset is the component which routes data between the computer's buses & Devices, so that all the components which make up the computer can communicate with each other. The chipset originally was made up of a large number of electronic chips, hence the name. The chipset is part of the motherboard's logic system and is usually made of two parts: 1. The North Bridge (also called the memory controller) 2. The South Bridge (also called the input/output controller or expansion controller) These two "bridges" connect the CPU to other parts of the computer.
