FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The E-ATX or extended ATX motherboard is much larger than the standard ATX motherboard. This motherboard is primarily used for gaming where a lot of power is needed. Most of the extra space on the board is used for extra expansion slots and memory slots.

Detailed explanation-2: -E-ATX is short for Extended ATX, and it’s actually the biggest motherboard size out there. They are 13 inches by 12 inches-the same vertical size as ATX but considerably wider. On these motherboards, it’s common to find bigger CPU sockets that can accommodate server/enthusiast chips, as well as up to eight RAM slots.

Detailed explanation-3: -M-ATX is the slightly smaller cousin of ATX, cutting its length by around 25 percent, to a typical size of 244 x 244 mm. It supports all of the same processors and graphics cards as ATX motherboards, as well as four RAM slots, but typically cuts back on a few additional features to help save space.

Detailed explanation-4: -This size advantage for standard ATX motherboards allows them to feature more PCIe lanes. And, that makes them better suited for multi-GPU setups, or for users that want to utilize multiple PCIe devices. Mini-ITX motherboards, on the other hand, are shorter in both height and width than micro-ATX motherboards.

Detailed explanation-5: -A full size ATX board is 12 inches wide by 9.6 inches deep (305mm x 244mm). The Mini-ATX board is 11.2” x 8.2” (284mm x 208mm).
