Describe what a chipset is.
Throughout an interview for a position in the field of computer science, you will be asked a great many technical questions. Remember that technical questions ask you to define a term, process, or concept and discuss how it is used in your work. Technical questions can range from very basic to extremely difficult. Typically, an interviewer will start with basic questions that are easy to answer. As the interview progresses, the subjects of the questions will become more difficult and specific. Continue to answer the questions briefly and to the point.
"The chipset is a collection of integrated circuits used to help the computer communicate with its various components. Chipsets are individual processers that perform specific functions. These include the CPU, a graphics chip, memory, and other chips that control other devices that interface with a computer. Chipsets can control items such as keyboards and mice, USB drives, and audio input and output devices."
