the bridges is actually the chipset?
well i know what is chipset, although doesn't really understand how it works
ok then what's the different between the north and south bridge?
 
To my knowledge, the only diffrence between the north and south bridge are what they are connected to. If you notice, the northbridge has the AGP and the RAM and the southbridge has pretty much everything else. I believe that they seperated the two from each other because the northbridge makes more heat, and will cause a less stable system.
