What is a Chipset?

[jmxrux]

I looked around my motherboard and my manual and saw that there was a chipset. Do i need to buy something for that part?

You don't need to buy anything for it, all that's required is to install the Chipset Driver for your board model from the board manufacturer's website. In fact, that driver should be installed first, then follow that up with the remaining motherboard drivers.
