hardware, standard An open PC motherboard
specification by Intel.
ATX is a development of the Baby AT specification with the
motherboard rotated 90 degrees in the chassis. The CPU and
SIMM sockets have been relocated away from the expansioncard slots meaning that all the slots support full-length
cards. More I/O functions are integrated on the
motherboard. As the longer edge of the board is now at the
back of the chassis, there is more space for connectors; also,
the I/O opening on the back panel of the chassis has been
defined as double the previous height, allowing vendors to add
extra on-board I/O functions over and above the standard.
