  Chipset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the term chipset is commonly used to refer to the specialized motherboard chips on a computer or expansion card.
The manufacturer of a chipset often is independent from the manufacturer of the motherboard.
The term chipset was used for the custom audio and graphics chips in home computers, games consoles and arcade game hardware of the 1980s and 1990s.

 Original Amiga chipset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original chipset appeared in the Amiga 1000, Amiga 2000 and Amiga 500.
The OCS (and ECS) chipset was manufactured using NMOS technology by Commodore's chip manufacturing subsidiary, MOS Technology.
As the original 68000 in Amigas can only access memory on every second clock cycle, Agnus operates a system where the time-critical custom chips access get the "odd" cycle and the CPU gets the "even" cycle, thus the CPU does not get locked out of memory access and does not appear to slow down.

On the other hand, the KT266 chipset could be positioned between the AMD 760 and the SIS735 chipset in terms of the interconnect between the memory and AGP controller (North Bridge) and the I/O controller (South Bridge) which features the VIA VLink offering 266 MB/sec bandwidth.
As a reminder, the AMD chipset is still using the PCI bus as interconnect and is, therefore, restricted to 133 MB/sec.
The chipset itself is a re-spin of the KT chipset and as such has not undergone too many architectural changes.

 Target PC :: The Leadtek WinFast GeForce2 MX
As already mentioned earlier, the GeForce2 MX (NV11) chipset is based on the exact same core as its bigger brother, the GeForce2 GTS.
The original GTS chipset features four rendering pipelines whereas the MX comes with a total of two, thus lowering its fill rate by anything of 50% in most 3D demanding applications.
Because the MX chipset is based on the same care as the GTS, its two pipelines are also able to process two textures for each one in a single clock.

The other ports were re-arranged with keyboard and mouse connectors being removed (in favour of an IR mouse and a keyboard using the AUX port found on the front) and finally the standard serial port connector was altered to the Macintosh style mini-din standard.
The floppy, parallel and midi ports are all available on the new design as with the original CDTV although most probably the floppy disk assign "DF0:" would be reserved for the internal disk drive.
The IDE interface let you add one 2.5" 44pin laptop harddrive to the CR and a clever removable floppy/harddrive bay being developed where the harddrive was fitted upside down to the bottom of the bay and the floppy drive fitting on top.

 Chipset Aliases: TX Pro, VX Pro & Co. | Hardware Secrets
The "xPro" chipsets (TX Pro, VX Pro, HX Pro, BX Pro, etc) are chipsets from companies like SiS, VIA and ALi relabeled by PCChips, i.e., PCChips gets a chipset like SiS 5598 and writes "TX Pro II" on it instead of "SiS 5598".
A relabeled chipset has exactly the same features of the original chipset.
We compiled a table containing the name of the relabeled chipset, its real manufacturer and model and which motherboards use the specified chipset.

 MSI K7N2-L nForce2 Motherboard Review - TransmetaZone.com
When nForce was announced the AMD chipset performance leader at the time was the SiS 735 chipset.
When the nForce2 was originally announced back in July of 2002, nVIDIA was hoping to steal a bit of ATI's thunder for the release of the 9700 Pro videocard which was announced a few days later.
Consequently, the nForce chipset was delayed yet again, and eventually reached the markets in October, albeit in limited quantities.

 3Dfx Voodoo Chipset - Getting the most from your Monster 3D/Orchid R3D card
Dfx later released a revised "Voodoo Rush" chipset that does support 3D in a window, and is paired with several 2D chipsets on single card solutions from Hercules, Intergraph and others.
A primary advantage of the original, full-screen only Voodoo chipset and cards is the ability to boost performance substancially using simple SET commands in your autoexec.bat file, or by using utilities like "Tweek".
Original Voodoo chipset cards (not the Rush) use these enviroment variable to set the operating speed from the default 50mhz to as high as 57mhz (with a cooling fan, some users have reported speeds as high as 61mhz) and also to enable faster memory and PCI timing modes.

 Intel Introduces Fast Processor and Innovative Chipset for Value PCs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
In addition to integrating technologies, the Intel 810 chipset adds new capabilities including Instantly Available PC technology, which allows computers to quickly resume operation with low levels of power, and Intel Accelerated Hub Architecture, which doubles the size of the communications channel within the chipset for better multimedia performance.
The Intel 810 chipset also removes outdated "legacy" technology such as ISA in order to improve reliability and ease-of-use.
Three versions of the Intel 810 chipset will be available in June: the Intel 810DC100 capable of interfacing with 4 MB of optional display cache, for $32, the Intel 810 chipset for $29.50, and the Intel 810-L chipset, a reduced cost version, for $25.50.

 Motherboard - Mainboard: selected database MB by Slot/Socket, chipset, name and manufacturer
This is their second i845DDR chipset based motherboard, and it looks like yet another exiting motherboard from ABIT has arrived.
We looked at the first two chipsets supporting this faster type of memory- the ALi Magik in the form of Iwill's XP-333 and SiS 745 in the form of ECS K7S6A.
Recently we have seen several manufacturers introduce their version of VIA's KT266A chipset based motherboards, and there are several reasons for this, most notably is that performance is very high, and the price is very low, as you'll see here today with the AK31.

 LinuxHardware.org | System of the Year X2 CPUs: Revisited
The 860 chipset is not the newest chipset on the market, but still has an impressive feature set which includes two-way Xeon support and support for up to 4GB of RDRAM.
The 860 chipset is made up of three chips: the 82860 Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH2), and the 82806AA 64-bit PCI Controller Hub (P64H).
It is important to note that the original release of the MPX chipset had a problem in the southbridge that resulted in flaky or non-operative on-board USB.

 LostCircuits, CPU Guide
The introduction of the revamped 925X chipset to add the —E moniker and official support for 1066 MHz clock speed did not ruffle too many feathers in the performance community.
The proposed remedy for the situation is the upcoming release of a Prescott core with a 2 MB L2 cache, which, because of its deeper pipelines and other optimizations, may be able to handle the faster host bus a bit better than the Northwood design-derived Extreme Edition.
We already showed on the original 925 board that at least in theoretical benchmarks, the Prescott has a substantially better performance than the ExtremeEdition, this is especially true for any memory bandwidth measurements where the Prescott stepping achieves much higher bus utilization than the Northwood.

 Graphics - Common Questions and Issues with Linux*
The Intel chipset families with integrated graphics do not have RAM of its own.
Since the graphics chip is integrated into the chipset it can use system RAM for graphics memory.
If your distribution does not contain support for your chipset, but does contain an agpgart module, you will need to replace this module with the one provided on the support.intel.com web site or obtain an update from your distribution directly.

 Legion Hardware
Although this chipset was initially only designed for the AMD platform, it took no more than six months for NVIDIA to release an Intel version.
The original chipset featured just 20 PCI Express lanes limiting the dual PCI Express x16 slots to x8 operation when in SLI mode.
The primary reason for releasing this chipset was to offer support for the upcoming Pentium XE dual-core processors which feature two independent 2MB L2 cache, 1066MHz front-side-bus, Hyper-Threading Technology, and Virtualization Technology for improved multi-thread operations.

 Mysterious Ways - AGA chipset Review - Just Amiga Monthly
This review of the AGA chipset was published in the magazine Just Amiga Monthly in the end of 1992, it was written by Jolyon Ralph.
The chips are register-compatable with the original chipset, meaning most old software (including games) should run without problem on the AGA chips, but no doubt some programs will fail, there are so many changes to the chips that it's impossible to say they will be totally compatable.
The bad news is that the chipset is now a 32-bit only chipset and will not work in any current Amiga, even the Amiga 3000.

 Accelerate Your Macintosh! TechWorks Power3D 3Dfx Video card Preview
As an owner of a PC version 3Dfx Voodoo 3D Chipset card since it was introduced last fall, I was very excited about the card finally being made available in a Macintosh version.
The drawbacks to the original Voodoo chipset are the inability to do 3D in a window (full screen mode only) and a lack of 2D capability.
The original cable and card do not allow functional monitor sensing which means that gamma and available resolutions you originally had with a direct connection may not be available with the Power3d cable/adapter.

 ATI Radeon Everywhere ATI has decided to sell Radeon 8500-series chipsets to third-party vendors and expand its product ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
One way that ATI is fighting back is by introducing "new" low-cost video cards based on its original Radeon chips: ATI has renamed its original Radeon chipset the Radeon 7200, and its low-end Radeon VE chipset the Radeon 7000; cards based on both models are now available at retail outlets.
ATI's new OEM and third-party chipset product is the Radeon 8500LE, which is a slower component than the normal Radeon 8500 chipset.
Otherwise the 8500LE chipset is identical to the Radeon 8500, supporting all of the same advanced 3D features including Truform, SmartShader, and SmoothVision.

While the KT266A is based on VIA's original KT266 DDR-SDRAM chipset introduced in the Spring of 2001, the KT266A blows the doors off its predecessor because of its improved memory subsystem.
This improvement in the memory controller (Tom's Hardware calls it the "industry's fastest DDR memory controller") is the major change in the KT266A over the KT266, and takes care of the major weakness in the original design.
Traditionally, new chipsets have required new motherboard printed circuit boards to be produced to handle the pinout changes.

 Sharky Extreme - '+$ArtG+' - '+$ArtC+' - '+$ArtN+'
The reason that it can all be considered part of the same chipset is that Intel doesn't consider just the northbridge a chipset.
For example, the 850 chipset includes the 850 MCH (Memory Controller Hub), IOH2 (I/O Controller Hub 2), and FWH (Firmware Hub, actually the flash memory that holds the BIOS).
I suppose it would be possible to design a chipset that had the ability to support more address lines.

These new features do entail a small increase in performance over the previous VIA K8 chipset, but not by a significant margin in any real world test.
VIA has produced another fine chipset, though it is mainly in preparation for a processor that is still kept under wraps: the 939 pin Athlon 64s.
With Socket 939 looming so closely in the air, it is a tough call to tell anyone to upgrade their system to a current generation Athlon 64 based on the 754-pin or 940-pin processors.

 AnandTech: AMD's 760MPX Chipset - Multiprocessor for the Masses
Remember that the ServerWorks HEsl chipset for the Pentium III platform already supports two 64-bit/66MHz PCI buses and one 32-bit/33MHz bus.
Support for only a 64-bit/33MHz PCI bus - The original 760MPX only supported a 64-bit/33MHz PCI bus which is ok for most users but a lack of 66MHz PCI support is definitely a mark down for the 760MP.
This completed the issues that most higher end server users would have with the chipset and it paved the way for the introduction of the true mass-production version of the chipset - the 760MPX.

I wonder if the new heatsink is to address the overheating problems with the original chipset heatsink.
It looks like it may be harder to add a fan to this new chipset than the original though, so hopefully the new one does a better job of cooling the chipset so you won't need to!
The fit is not exactly tight since I used the original heatsink mounting springs which are not very strong.
