What is the story of Nvidia north bridge and south bridge chipsets?

Do they make the north bridge and south bridge chipsets both in one chipset ?

And what is the relation of this to SPP and MCP?

NVidia chipsets are pretty good. From what I've read, they are some of the best chipsets on the market.

Anyone who can give me a simple idea about Nevidia MCP and SPP?

Does Nevidia intgrate the north bridge and south bridge ?
Does it make the two chipsets in one die or use different technology to commmunicate between them?

This might help answer your question. I am trying to track down my Motherboard "Elements N2PAP" they decided to dissappear, I have nForce chips North and South, had driver problems and can't find squat for where to go for the latest nForce 2 drivers for my board.

NVIDIA tightly couples its Northbridge and Southbridge, linking them using AMD's Hypertransport bus. The result is not so much an integrated chipset solution, but a complete, ready-made platform that goes head to head with anything Intel might do, while adding audio, and communications into the bargain.

NVIDIA announced nForce, its integrated graphics, audio, Northbridge, and Southbridge chipset, also referred to as Crush.

The features that bring the "new" nForce2 into being have been available at NVIDIA since the end of last year, and they were already tested successfully with the Athlon 64 chipset, nForce3 250 Gb. However, there is still one essential difference: While the nForce3 is designed as a single-chip solution, NVIDIA still has to rely on two chips for nForce2. The memory controller requires too many transistors, and consequently the components do not all fit into a single BGA case.
