Theres all different ones like nvidia, and k8 something. Whats the difference between them all? does it matter which one you have?

I'm pretty sure the Via K8T800Pro is just a wee bit better than the nvidia nforce3, although there is virtually no difference at all.

 

[chrisgill369]

when you say better, what is it better at.....

i thought that it determined what graphics cards you can have but i think thats totaly wrong lol

 

[gaara]

No, chipsets don't limit your graphics card selection at all. Chipsets have quite a bit to do with overclocking though,

This site will have everything you need to know about chipsets.
