North Bridge and South Bridge chips look a bit different than the other chips on a motherboard. If you look at the VIA chip near the one end of the memory slots on that motherboard you can see that it doesn't have the pins coming out at the side of it. The chip also has something like a green "base plate" with a gold strip in one corner around it. That'll distinguish the Bridge chips from other chips on a motherboard.

The KD7 Raid chip is just what it says - a RAID chip. It controls your raid array.

I don't think that's it, OLMI.

The chip on the left is the southbridge (Gigabyte GA-7VAXP). The promise chip is probably my RAID controller.
