**Cant find a chip?
Early chip sets have  a title and a part no. to refer  to the chip set
as a  whole. As time went  on the chip  set became one chip,  so later
chip sets are usually referred to by  the part no. on the actual chip.
These are  usually called "Single  Chip" by the  manufacture, although
they nearly  always follow the 2-chip  North/South-bridge paradigm. So
these are referred to by for example, "M1521/M1523" or "M1521/M23" for
short. If there is a part number for  the chip set as a whole that has
precedence. Try the search function for  a chip part no. and hopefully
it will turn up the chip set it was part of.
