This method retrieves the computer's motherboard northbridge information.
Return Value
Returns the true if successful, otherwise returns false.
Explanation
The QueryHostBridgeID method retrieves the computer's motherboard northbridge information. The Initialize method must be executed before executing the QueryHostBridgeID method. If the Initialize method has not been successfully executed, the QueryHostBridgeID method is disabled.
After the QueryHostBridgeID method is successfully executed, the retrieved information will be set into the VendorID property, the VendorName property, and the DeviceID property
The motherboard northbridge information contained in the PcID (that was retrieves by the QueryPcID method), consists of the vendor id (4 digits) and the product number (4 digits). These numbers are converted to type String. In general, because the northbridge is attached directly to the motherboard, it is not possible to replace the northbridge as it is to replace the CPU, video card, or network card.
