I am asking this question very abstractly.
Does anyone know how to burn and create chips to be used in the PC?
For example, if I want to enhance the functional capabilities of my PC, I can only do it through the addition of chips. Likewise, if I want make my PC work differently, I need to create a chip.
How do I burn such chips to be used? Where do I get the burner and the chips? Where do I also get the card for the chip to be inserted into the card? (eg similar to NIC type card)
Can someone please tell me? It is important. Thanks.

Most of the chips in a PC are not of the type that you can "burn" but are specially made. You can expect to spend hundreds of thousands on a chip design.
Custom chips that you can "burn" include EPROMS, FPGAs and microcontrollers. You need to get a degree in electronic engineering unless you are able to teach yourself C, C++ and VHDL to that level.
What you probably want is a modding site where you can add pretty LEDs and an LCD info panel without having to go into a new career in electronics.

What kind of chips?
EEPROMS?
You can buy them from http://www.digikey.com/ along with programmers and burners.
If you are trying to make a controller or something similar, you don't burn a chip... you manufacture it!
If you don't know how to burn them, then you really have no idea what you are doing and this is the wrong place to be asking such questions.
It is like asking someone on Yahoo Answers on how to perform surgery to remove a spleen!

'Chips' refer to the Northbridge & Southbridge chipset. Vast amounts of money, engineering, and experimentation are involved into the making of these. You might be refering to a "BIOS' chip. This 'chip' has a burned in program,(usually 24hr's), that has approxiametly 64MB's of information. It's possible to upgrade the BIOS if an upgrade is available. Or you may be refering to a 'chip' called the processor,(microprocessor), which is the 'brain' of a computer. Most cpu's can be 'overclocked' to achieve more performance, but this is not without sacrificing reliability.

You do not need to burn a eprom to do this, even so, you'd need the mb to recognize it. Eproms are readily availible and so are the burners.
I think what you want to do is create a scrpit page or you could create the system you want, burn it to cd or hd using a program like ghost, then have the comuter run the ghost at startup

Well your going to find it hard for one thing if you put in the wrong chipset it will blow your motherboard sky high, what are you trying to build a rocket, why not just buy a 64 bit system like any normal person would do. Why not go work for nasa and get to learn about microchips and their uses......

It's going to be a while before you can mod your PC directly (years, actually), but here is a good place to start...
