Please explain what does "onboard graphics" and "chipset" mean .?

Answer 1

hey !! ...i m answering this twice,coz you have asked tht twice..lol....*Neol and Rock* are same just another profile k//
hope ya would select us twice for Best answer too ..hahaha!

Integrated or onboard graphics
------------------------------...
In simple words its circut(graphic card) which come attached to motherboard,coz it has been provided by motherboard manufacturer.

The concept of onboard graphics really came up when Intel integrated graphics with its 810-chipset based motherboards for the PIII processor. Intel didn't leave an option for putting in an additional graphics card, forcing people to use only onboard graphics. Onboard graphics were capable of handling most day-to-day work, which eliminated a lot of graphics cards from the market. Intel later came up with the provision to add graphics cards as well, and this changed the face of the graphics market.

and also..

The onboard graphics don't support all the features offered by DirectX, and even if they did, they wouldn't support the latest version. Currently, the latest version of DirectX is 9. Moreover, onboard graphics usually share 8 to 64 MB of system memory or RAM, while graphics cards use their dedicated memory for better performance, which could range from 64 to 256 MB.

Integrated or onboard graphics is something a gaming freak wouldn't like to touch with a barge pole. That's because the latest games such as Doom 3 and Half Life 2 have set the hardware requirements far beyond what onboard graphics can handle.
Moreover, even the software libraries required to run these games, viz DirectX and OpenGL, have introduced many features that are not supported by onboard graphics. So, for a gamer, buying a separate 3D-graphics card is a pre-requisite to get support for these features for better gaming.

Chipset
--------------------

A chipset is a group of integrated circuits ("chips") that are designed to work together, and are usually marketed as a single product.

In computing, the term chipset is commonly used to refer to the specialized motherboard chips on a computer or expansion card. When discussing personal computers (PCs) based on recent Intel Pentium-class systems, the term "chipset" often refers to the two main motherboard chips: northbridge and southbridge.

And most important difference is..

**The manufacturer of a chipset often is independent from the
manufacturer of the motherboard. Examples of PC motherboard chipsets include NVIDIA's nForce chipset and VIA Technologies' KT800, both for AMD processors, or one of Intel's many chipsets **

eg.

Onboard Graphics also means integrated graphics. It means that the graphics (video) component of your system is combined (integrated) i.e. built-in on your motherboard. This removes the need to install a seperate graphics card into the system.

However, users can still choose to install a seperate graphics card over the integrated ones as these motherboards do still carry the usual complement of AGP/PCI-E slots. Just disable the on-board (on most boards this is automatic or simple change of BIOS setting) one and your system will run on the installed card.

Chipset means the North and South Bridge of the motherboard. While the CPU is the 'Brain' doing all the calculations and such, the Chipset is like the part of the whole brain (literally means the whole CPU unit - mobo, cpu, chipset, ram etc) that controls the senses and memory. What i mean here is that the chipset controls the other peripherals like the RAM, peripheral ports (SATA, IDE, PCI etc) the bus frequency etc. It is an indisposable part of the CPU and will determine if your motherboard's functional limitations.

Answer 3

Onboard graphics means that the PC is having an inbuilt graphics card. but this type of card will have a limited memory and limited features. If you want a high memory graphics card go for an external one. as onboard graphics card cannot be upgraded.

Chipset means a single IC which controls the motherboard its features, etc. It is this IC which determines the performance and features of a motherboard. Instead of having separte IC's for functioning different functions for Mother board it is integrated in a single IC. Motherboard features is detemined with the Chipset used.

Answer 4

Onboard graphics means your not using a seperate video card and the chipset is like the model #

Answer 5

Onboard graphics means the graphic card is built in the motherboard.

Chipset identifies the type of circuits used on a motherboard..

Answer 6

Define Onboard

It's a go-to statement that analysts use to basically say that because Lebron hasn't won a title he isn't great individually. They also use it to downplay the success of the Cavaliers. The funny thing about that is, whenever someone says "hey why hasn't Lebron won a title?" The comeback is always "well he never had a great team". So basically first they state that Lebron has to win a title for the Cavaliers, but then blame the lack of a title on his teammates. Well, according to them, his teammates aren't important if *he* has to win them a title. Oh I see, it's only their fault if they don't win. They're full of crap. First of all I'm not a great believer in the idea that titles necessarily make a player great. Besides like you said it's not just Lebron who wants a title, the CAVALIERS want a title. Analysts on ESPN etc. forget that their are many important players that are major parts to that team or any team.

It honestly makes NO sense at all. TEAMS not players win championships. It isn't 1 on 1 basketball out their it is 5 on 5 and it is a simple concept really. No matter how great a player is if he doesn't have the right type of team around him or enough help, he won't win. What I don't get is how they get on Carter for not having a ring when the man was never even on a team good enough to even make the finals. What is he suppose to do? The quote about LeBron hasn't won a ring is ruibbish because like I said, it is 5 on 5 NBA structured basketball not 1 on 1 tournaments. To end, here is my story about why players shouldn't be discredited for not having a ring First off a superstar doesn't always have it going, and the superstars that have their role players step up and make plays when need usually are winners. Many great players that they say are better because of rings were fortunate to have great role players. EX) Kobe in the 2009 semi finals game 7 had a very poor game and I think he failed to reach 20. (One of those times where other players are needed) and Gasol stepped in with 21pts and like 18 rebs with Odom chipping in too. People don't look at the little things like that, but here I am pointing out everything for them. EX) In 2008 semi finals, Duncan was poor the entire series and averaged 15ppg and was outplayed by chandler and West. But players like Manu and Parker took the burden off him by stepping up. Players like Dirk or LeBron have carried their teams and when they go down, their role players go down with them and don't make the big plays that Duncan or Kobe's teammates have done in the past. They just go down with them. 2 weeks ago Kobe needed Fisher to make that big shot against Orlando last year in game 4. Kobe needed Ariza to make those key shots when he wasn't making them. Its the exact reason I don't rate players higher because of rings, but IMPACT. Because TEAMS win rings and the superstar that has the role players that will make the plays when they are down and can't do it will win. EDIT: Now if Duncan and Kobe didn't have role players that stepped up and did those things, and they as a result end up losing, does that make them chokers all the sudden? Thats why their "choker" system is soooo flawed. LBJ should not be condemned for it, no player should. It is a team sport, not tennis or bowling. ___ EDIT with more: Plus for a team to win championships, things just happen, it is the NBA. Examples * 2007: The suns were giving the Spurs all they can handle and because Horry trucked Nash and caused Amare and Diaw to leave the bench and get suspended for game 5, the Spurs won the game as a result. People can speculate all they want but no one except God knows if the Suns would have won that series without that. Easily a situation that could have had Nash with 1 ring and Duncan with 3. * Role players like Horry have made big shots in crucial situations on the Spurs team and Lakers team and in the Kings vs Lakers game 6 Horry saved the Lakers season with a late three at the buzzer. If that doesn't go in and they lose that would be one less ring for Shaq and Kobe. * Hakeem and his team took advantage of the Bulls not having MJ during the time he retired for a brief stint. Say MJ plays and Bulls beat the Rockets and Hakeem may not have 2 rings at all. Things happen and it can change the outcome of a career quickly. I can bring many more examples but you see my point. No player should be discredited for not winning a ring especially in a team sport.

Answer 9

onboard graphics is not having a seperate graphics card... it's integrated into the system...
