The document discusses chipsets and motherboard components. It explains that a chipset consists of several chips put together and is located on the motherboard. The motherboard connects all the components together including the CPU, memory, graphics card, and peripherals. It also discusses key components like the northbridge controller hub, southbridge controller hub, BIOS, and how to identify different components using their identifiers.

6. LPC, FWH and SPIThese terms are used on PC/x86 motherboards.LPC = low pin count interface (basically replaced the legacy ISA bus stuff)FWH = firmware hub (a chip/hub used to store the BIOS codes)SPI = serial flash chip using the SPI bus/interface (basically a FWH with less pins)Answers to your questions...1. LPC is usually part of the south bridge or ICH (I/O control hub), and the FWH and SPI are related to the BIOS ROM.2. We use these terms/alphabets when discussing the BIOS, hubs/chips or busses related to an x86 motherboard.3. LPC is a bus (or a port) that other circuits/chips can connect to on a motherboard. For example the PS/2 type keyboard & mouse ports (along with a few other I/O functions) are connected to an LPC-type chip which connects to the LPC port on the ICH. FWH are SPI are typically thought of as chips (some insist it's a hub). This is used to store the BIOS firmware/codes. For example, the Phoenix/Award BIOS or AMI BIOS (or other equivalent BIOS) codes are stored in this FWH or SPI serial chip.

8. Intel Core 2 DUO and QUAD Processor

9. Northbridge Controller HubConnects the CPU to memory and high speed graphic card.Modern Computer include cooling options: - Heat sink - Fans

10. Manages Connections - PCI interface slots - Other Peripheral (USB, Ethernet, IDE etc).Onboard graphics controller.BIOS Southbridge Controller Hub

11. Identifying ComponentsEvery Chip have Identifier. - Google is your friend. - “intel gd82559”. - Intel Network controller.Many components are associated with surrounding components or interface. - COM2:Serial controller. - SCSI interface Buffer memory
