An ATX motherboard Comparison of some common motherboard form factors (pen for scale). ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) is a motherboard and power supply configuration specification, patented by David Dent in 1995 at Intel, [1] to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT design.
Baby AT motherboard An ATX Form Card, used by later Baby-AT motherboards to allow for USB, PS/2 mouse, and IR connectivity through headers. In 1987, the Baby AT form factor was introduced, based on the motherboard found in the IBM PC/XT 286 (5162) [2] and soon after all computer makers abandoned AT for the cheaper and smaller Baby AT form factor, using it for computers that spanned several ...
Typically used for server-class type motherboards with dual processors and too much circuitry for a standard E.ATX motherboard. LPX: Western Digital? 229 × 279–330 mm (9 × 11–13 in) Based on a design by Western Digital, it allowed smaller cases than the AT standard, by putting the expansion card slots on a Riser card. Used in slimline ...
FlexATX is a motherboard form factor derived from ATX.The specification was released in 1999 by Intel as an addendum to the microATX specification. It uses a subset of the motherboard mounting holes required for microATX and the same I/O plate system as ATX and microATX.
The WTX specification was created to standardize a new motherboard and chassis form factor, fix the relative processor location, and allow for high volume airflow through a portion of the chassis where the processors are positioned. This allowed for standard form factor motherboards and chassis to be used to integrate processors with more ...
The mounting points of microATX motherboards are a subset of those used on full-size ATX boards, and the I/O panel is identical. Thus, microATX motherboards can be used in full-size ATX cases. Furthermore, most microATX motherboards generally use the same power connectors as ATX motherboards, [ a ] thus permitting the use of full-size ATX power ...
A typical motherboard will have a different number of connections depending on its standard and form factor. A standard, modern ATX motherboard will typically have two or three PCI-Express x16 connection for a graphics card, one or two legacy PCI slots for various expansion cards, and one or two PCI-E x1 (which has superseded PCI).
The ABIT BP6 is an ATX motherboard released by ABIT in 1999. It was the first motherboard to allow the use of two unmodified Intel Celeron processors in dual symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) configuration. This combined with its overclocking capabilities made it a popular option among computer enthusiasts. [1]
