Northbridge and Southbridge, can you edit change or alter them?

They are the chipsets of the motherboard. They are the chips that sort all the data thats moving about the motherboard. Thats the BASIC idea.

The Northbridge mainly is responsible for RAM - CPU (also known as MCH)

.....Northbridge. Of the two, the northbridge is the faster, more important and impactful. Colloquially, often "chipset" and "northbridge" are used interchangeably. The northbridge traditionally provides support for communication to RAM as well as providing support for the AGP bus
.....Southbridge The southbridge is the "behind-the-scenes" part of the chipset and doesnt so much affect overall system performance but rather it determines what and how many features a given mobo has. The southbridge is in charge of the PCI bus, USB, the system clock, etc

I suggest checkin out the 101 guides stickied to the top of each sub-forum.

Yes, I'd say that all the 101s are prerequitory reads before posting. They help avoid redundant questions. No offence. There's a LOT of info in there, so check 'em out.

Northbridge and Southbridge, can you edit change or alter them?
