If you noticed, the paths between each component are refried to as "buses." Buses are simply the paths, or wires, that connect one component to the other. You may have also noticed that the chips in the chipset are refried to as bridges. The chips actually are bridges that bridge the components together, and ensure that the data flow is directed to the proper place. The better chipsets are those that can handle data the fastest. Below is a picture of both chipsets on a motherboard.
