Understanding North and South bridges of computer.

1. Understanding North and South Bridges in Computers

2. What Are Bridges? Bridges in computers are important components that help connect different parts. They ensure smooth communication between hardware.

3. What is the North Bridge? It connects the CPU (central processing unit), RAM (random access memory), and graphics card.

4. North Bridge Functions Manages high-speed data transfer. Handles tasks that require quick access, like gaming or video editing.

5. South Bridge Overview It connects slower components like hard drives, USB ports , and audio devices.

6. South Bridge Functions Manages input/output operations. Controls devices that do not need high-speed access.

7. Comparison of North and South Bridges Speed: North Bridge is faster; South Bridge is slower. Connections: North connects CPU, RAM, graphics; South connects peripherals.
