Funtion of chipset
The function of a chipset is to manage data throughput. All data that your components require or acquire need to be transported. They are transported by what's known as a bus. The bus carry's the data to where it needs to go via the chipset. The exception to rule here is the BSB (Back side bus) the BSB is the bus between the CPU and the cache memory. Today's CPU's have the cache memory "on-chip" and so there is no need to go through the chipset.
What is Chipset
Since we now know that the chipset handles an incredible amount of data, its important to see which chipsets are performing the best. Firstly to choose a chipset that supports your CPU. You obviously cant have a chipset designed for an Intel CPU if your using an Athlon XP. Then the best way to see which chipsets are performing the best is to look at benchmarks on various sites. A slow chipset can be as damaging to your systems overall speed as a slow CPU or slow memory. The slowest component always dictates the overall speed at any given time. If you have a poor performing chipset, then any time that your computer is sending and receiving data from the graphics card or main memory, then the system is struggling
There are Many Kinds of chipsets

Video card and its system requirments
A video card, also referred to as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, graphics card, and numerous other terms, is an item of personal computer hardware whose function is to generate and output images to a display.
The term is usually used to refer to a separate, dedicated expansion card that is plugged into a slot on the computer's motherboard, as opposed to a graphics controller integrated into the motherboard chipset.
Some video cards offer added functionalities, such as video capture, TV tuner adapter, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding or even FireWire, mouse, light pen, joystick connectors, or even the ability to connect two monitors.
Video cards are not used exclusively in IBM type PCs; they have been used in devices such as Commodore Amiga (connected by the slots Zorro II and Zorro III), Apple II, Apple Macintosh, Atari Mega ST/TT (attached to the MegaBus or VME interface), Spectravideo SVI-328, MSX and in video game consoles
