Detailed explanation-1: -ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard and power supply configuration specification developed and patented by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT design.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ATX form factor is a replacement for the older AT and baby AT form factors. Invented by Intel in 1995, it incorporates the first major change in the layout of PC motherboards to occur in years. The ATX motherboard rotates the orientation of the board 90 degrees.
Detailed explanation-3: -Micro ATX. The Micro ATX form factor is essentially a standard ATX motherboard shortened into a square at the expensive of losing three PCI slots. This form factor is compatible with ATX cases and power supplies, and often uses the same chipsets as their full-sized brethren.
Detailed explanation-4: -The differences between ITX and ATX are size, PCIe lane build, and RAM capacity. In turn, these differences determine what type of PC case you can use for your motherboard. For example, VIA Technologies first developed the ITX for use in small-configured computer systems, and ITX has less RAM than other motherboards.
