What ATX means? I dunno about the acronym, but the
motherboard/powersupply/power switch are all integrated to comply with
the new "green" standarts, and they are NOT compattable with any thing
else on the market. The power supply sports a 18- or 20-pin comnnector
that ties to the m/b. and the power switch connects to the m/b thru a
jumper wire similar to the front panel connectors. It then feeds thru a
relay, back to another relay in the p.s., that then closes contacts to
provide power to the m/b. It is also Win95 enabled, so when you click on
"shut down the computer" it REALLY DOES! Right now, the only experience
that I ahve had with these is in the Micron M55hi series m/b's, and we
have had some problems with the real time clock turning off and on at
power off/on. Cute, huh?
Anyway, that's all the skinny I have on ATX at this time. Hope it helps.
any questions, e--mail me.

I thought that an ATX board was when you've got the serial & parallel ports
(actual connectors) built right onto the motherboard. Sort of like an old
PS/2 or a Packard Bell.They make specific cases designated "for ATX" to
accomodate the openings.
