The 7DXR uses the AMD761 North Bridge from AMD. AMD seems to have a pattern - the company releases a new type of CPU and a chipset to go with it, and slowly lets third parties, such as VIA, take over. While there are plenty of other chipsets that work with the current Athlons, AMD put the 761 out this past year to move improvements forward, this time bringing DDR (Double Data Rate) RAM to the Athlon platform. For its south bridge, Gigabyte has opted to use the VIA686B from VIA.
