Which chipset are you referring to?
Sorry, I’m not rich and powerful enough to say that in a public forum. PM me.
I research my parts, on the WEB, before I buy them now. I am using an MSI brand motherboard. Their technology always seems to lag months behind other brands, but they are reliable, supported and documented.
There is a PC Club store near me. They carry good quality stuff. But I would still reasearch the stuff first.
I learned my lesson the hard way at a cheap outlet.
Example: TNT2 video card made by ARCADE. The first one did not work at all, the second kept crashing 3D programs. I spent hours trying different drivers. I gave up on it, returned it and got charged a restocking fee. I replaced it with a highly rated brand name and had no trouble after that.

Really? Well, then I'll charge double. Bwahahahahaha
