What exactly are "North and South bridges?"
I was hoping to upgrade my motherboard this Christmas. I know I need an LGA 775 socket, and I also know that even though a motherboard may have the same socket type as your CPU requires, the bridge types may be different, making it completely incompatible with your processor. Right now, I have a C2Q Q9400 (2.66 GHz) I'm not sure about the bridge types, so I don't know which LGA 775 motherboard I should buy.
