Chipset: A chipset is a group of microchips that are designed to work with one or more related functions that were first introduced in 1986 when Chips and Technologies introduced the 82C206. The original 82C206 chipset included the 82284 Clock Generator functions, 82288 Bus Controller, 8254 System Timer, dual 8259 Interrupt Controllers, dual 8237 DMA controllers, and the MC146818 Clock. Four of the 82C206 chips were later replaced by CS8221 or NEAT (New Enhanced AT) chipset that contained only three chips.

This was then replaced by the 82C836 SCAT (Single Chip AT) chipset that combined all the chips in the set into a single chip. CPU socket: A CPU socket or CPU slot is a mechanical component(s) that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB).

This allows the CPU to be placed and replaced without soldering. Common sockets have retention clips that apply a constant force, which must be overcome when a device is inserted. For chips with a large number of pins, either zero insertion force (ZIF) sockets or land grid array (LGA) sockets are used instead. These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (for ZIF type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place.
This provides superior mechanical retention while avoiding the risk of bending pins when inserting the chip into the socket. Memory Channel: Dual-channel architecture DDR/DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM describes a motherboard technology that effectively doubles data throughput from RAM to the memory controller. Dual-channel-enabled memory controllers utilize two 64-bit data channels, resulting in a total bandwidth of 128-bits, to move data from RAM to the CPU. The motherboard memory controller, which regulates data flow between CPU and the system memory (RAM), determines the types and speeds of RAM as well as the maximum size of each individual memory module and the overall memory capacity of the system.

There are many memory controller designs. Prior to 2003, the most common was the single-channel configuration. Among its advantages are its low cost and flexibility. When the memory is unable to keep up with the processor, however, a bottleneck occurs, leaving the CPU with nothing to process. Under the single-channel architecture, any CPU with a bus speed greater than the memory speed would be liable to fall prey to this bottleneck effect. Comments, questions and answers to Dell 0KWVT8LksThank you!!!!JonathanI own a computer with this motherboard and it currently has a 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 (NVIDIA) gpu, I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the gpu to make it into a gaming pcNathan@Jonathan, I have the XPS 8700 that this motherboard came in and I had upgraded the gpu to a GTX 970 and then an AMD XFX Black Edition RX 580, so yes it can very well be a gaming pc.Sky@Jonathan i upgraded mine from a GTX 745 to a 1050 Ti. Also swapped the Processor from a Intel i7-4790 to a i7-7700.
I also added a Corsair H60 Liquid cooler. So yes you are able to upgrade it.
