Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which motherboard form factor was designed to fit into legacy cases, and takes up less space with fewer expansion slots?
A
ATX
B
BTX
C
microATX
D
NLX
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Micro ATX is a smaller motherboard form factor that offers a more compact alternative to the larger ATX form factor. Despite having fewer expansion slots and components, they are still appropriate for budget builds, HTPCs, and compact desktops.

Detailed explanation-2: -Micro-ATX (mATX) Form Factor Being smaller, mATX form factor boards are ideal for small computer chassis. Because of its smaller size, there are fewer expansion and/or memory slots on mATX motherboards.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mini-ITX motherboards measure just 170 x 170mm, and represent the smallest standard motherboard size available.

Detailed explanation-4: -The form factor of a motherboard defines its physical size, mounting hole locations, and other factors that determine whether the motherboard fits a particular case.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mini ITX Motherboards The real benefit of the mITX form factor is that it can fit into a much smaller space than other motherboard standards. This makes mITX ideal for PCs where space is limited, like home cinema PCs or desktop computers that need to be slotted away out of sight.
