What is a chipset? by Craig Burke
I'm looking at a motherboard from Intel that says it has a Chipset: Intel 865PE. What does this mean? This is the first computer I've tried to build. I just want to make sure that the board and chip are going to be compatible before I order them. Thanks, Craig

The file BGICID32.EXE keeps appearing in my Windows/Prefetch folder. When I shut down the computer it refuses to close. XP prompts me to close it manually. I deleted the file but it keeps coming back. Any ideas?
