Just wondering the difference between atx and e-atx. I know what it stands for, but am unsure of what you get extra compared to a normal atx board. ;)
My case supports both layouts apparantly...

The cpu I want to buy the new mother board for, is a pent D 830. If you have any suggestions for choice of mobo, plz feel free to voice your opinion! I think the choices are fairly limited?

(Sorry, no pc specs yet as this is the start of a new project...)

Yeah, google sent me to that page earlier on, but it covers atx and baby atx. Only mentions that E-atx is bigger. But I'm still unsure if anything is a bonus on it?

Although it might be Express/Enhanced/Extended etc.

If it's Embedded ATX, this is the form factor motherboards used in specialised Point of Sales machines. I only know this due to I've been developing Point of Sales Systems for these types of machines as well as normal computers.

Basically Embedded ATX is just like a standard ATX, but has more interfaces for connecting more output/input devices as well as other things you would need for Point of Sales.

Then again, E-ATX may not be Embedded ATX.


Cheers,
