Describe The NLX
New Low Profile Extended
Intel standard, targeted low end consumer market, one method they used to save space was a bus slot called a riser lot. The riser slot accepted a card that created an expansion bus perpendicular to the motherboard. This riser card, in turn, accepted expansion cards that were oriented horizontally to the motherboard.
Describe the ATX
Advanced technology Extended
Intel standard. Most commonly used form in PC. Processor socket is located near the power supply so it will not interfere with full lenght expansion boards. The hard and floppy dirive connectors are located near the drive bays.
What are the ATX form factors?
ATX, Micro-ATX, Flex-ATX, and Mini ATX
