LOL (laughing out loud) epic

back to plebbit

Intel came up ATX, VIA came up with ITX

You think THAT'S bad?

'ok'

What I mean is: who in their right mind would call the smallest form mini and the middle form micro? Other way around would make much more sense

>6.7 inches is mini

Bros.....

gottem

ITX and ATX isn't the same thing dumbass.

I'm not claiming it is and it's not relevant to the point, don't move goalposts dumbass

The real question is why does anyone buy ATX these days when power consumption and heat dispersal have improved enough to use Micro-ATX with even the best consumer components easily

more pci slots

ATX sizes (Largest first):
Extended ATX
ATX
Mini ATX
Micro ATX
Flex ATX

ITX Sizes (Largest first):
ITX
Mini ITX
Nano ITX
Pico ITX

It's totally consistent, both catergories don't have a "bigger" word describing a motherboard that is smaller than a preceding larger motherboard. Getting confused that MiniITX is smaller than Micro ATX is like getting confused that a RX5500 is slower than a Nvidia 2080, despite the number being more than twice as big.

Why would you need those? SLI and such is dead, and Micro-ATX typically come with 4 nowadays - usually two being x16 at a minimum.

kek what a retard

Me in the centre.

heh, board being standard ATX size with dvi output were my literally only criteria when putting pc together

Thank you for elaborating it, this makes sense

Say that to my face fucker not online and I will do absolutely nothing

sound card, capture card, more usb slots, more storage slots, wifi card, serial ports, parallel ports etc.

Don't talk to me or my wife's motherboards ever again

after 2 of those dying on me I'm not buing used equipment again

Be honest with us here, do you have serial and parallel ports on a modern gaming computer for peripherals that you actually use, or is it more for the novelty factor?

I use serial ports at work because the old farts who design the equipment we use insist on using serial instead of USB.
Since absolutely nobody puts serial ports on motherboards anymore I need a PCI serial adapter

it's cute!
