Im in the market for a third computer and Im wondering how exactly you work out what CPU's are compatible with which Motherboards and vice versa.
I dont want to ask you what motherboards I can get for such and such a CPU, i want to LEARN so that I know in the future .
Is it the chipset that determines compatibility?
Eg - I was looking on intels website and their processor information didnt seem to show what chipset they are, if thats what I need to know.
Or are there a number of determining factors?
