Comparing Motherboards Factors to consider when purchasing a motherboard: Form Factor Form Factor CPU Compatibility CPU Compatibility Chipset Chipset Bus Speeds Bus Speeds Onboard Components Onboard Components Expansion Slots Expansion Slots Manufacturer Manufacturer Cost Cost

Full ATX Form Factor Compatible with ATX Power Supplies Compatible with ATX Power Supplies Requires a mid-tower case or larger Requires a mid-tower case or larger Provides a large number of expansion slots Provides a large number of expansion slots Allows for long term upgradeability Allows for long term upgradeability

Micro ATX Form Factor Compatible with ATX Power Supplies Compatible with ATX Power Supplies Can use a mini tower or Small Form Factor case Can use a mini tower or Small Form Factor case Generally has a large number of onboard components Generally has a large number of onboard components Has fewer expansion slots than Full ATX Has fewer expansion slots than Full ATX

Full vs Micro ATX Considerations Size of computer case Size of computer case Intended use (gaming, video editing, web browsing, , multimedia server etc) Intended use (gaming, video editing, web browsing, , multimedia server etc) Cost Cost Multiple video card slots (PCI Express) Multiple video card slots (PCI Express) A greater number of expansion slots for cards other than video. A greater number of expansion slots for cards other than video. Number of memory (RAM) banks Number of memory (RAM) banks

Other Considerations Does the chipset use heatsinks and heat pipes? Does the chipset use heatsinks and heat pipes? Does the motherboard require specific power connectors that might affect the compatibility of power supplies? Does the motherboard require specific power connectors that might affect the compatibility of power supplies? Has the motherboard received good reviews from consumers who have previously purchased the product? Has the motherboard received good reviews from consumers who have previously purchased the product?
