1. What is a chipset, like what makes a good chipset.
2. What is PCI Express
3. What is LAN
 
1. A chipset is simply a device to control the seperate functions of the motherboard or computer.
2. PCI Express is a two-way, serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs of point-to-point data lanes, compared to the single parallel data bus of traditional PCI that routes data at a set rate.
3. LAN means local area network. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves.

lol, I am sure this is 100% correct, but I think the answer he needs is "it's a slot to put a video card." :p
