ATX
= Advanced Technology Extended
Standard ATX size: 30.5 × 24.4cm
(maximum sizes)
MicroATX size: 24.4 × 24.4
cm (aka mATX or µATX)
Mini-ATX size: 28.45 × 20.83
cm See below.

Computer Board Form Factors (this site, opens in a new tab or window)
microATX,
also known as µATX or mATX, motherboards,
has a maximum size of 244 mm×244
mm, down to 171.45 mm × 171.45 mm
(The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 305 mm × 244 mm.)
More data on MicroATX (Wiki, opens in new tab)
Currently
available microATX motherboards support CPUs from either Intel or AMD.
There are no known microATX motherboards for processor architectures other
than x86 and x86-64.
microATX was explicitly
designed to be backward-compatible with ATX. The mounting points of microATX motherboards
are a subset of those used on full-size ATX boards, and the I/O panel is identical.
Thus, microATX motherboards can be used in full-size ATX cases.
Furthermore,
most microATX motherboards generally use the same power connectors as ATX
motherboards,[2] thus permitting the use of full-size ATX power supplies with
microATX boards.
microATX boards often use the same chipsets (northbridges and southbridges) as full-size ATX boards, allowing them to use many of the same components. However, since microATX tower cases are typically much smaller than ATX tower cases, they usually have fewer I/O ports and expansion slots.
microATX boards typically
have only three PCI or PCI-Express expansion slots, four being the maximum
permitted by the specification.
Most modern ATX motherboards have five or more
PCI or PCI-Express expansion slots.
In order to conserve expansion slots and
case space, many manufacturers produce microATX motherboard with a full-range
of integrated peripherals (especially integrated graphics), which may serve as
the basis for small form factor and media center PCs.
Mini ATX is another ATX-derived form factor board that
284.5 mm x 208.3
mm ( 11.2" x 8.2")
Do not confuse Mini ATX 28.45 × 20.83 cm with Mini ITX 17 x 17cm
Ideal for embedded PCs.
MicroATX Motherboards
MicroATX motherboards are only 24 x 24mm (9.6" x 9.6"), and are ideal
for space/cost sensitive applications where less than 4 slots are required.
They enable the same high integration of ATX but with
a smaller footprint that fills the gap between mini ITX and full-size ATX, balancing
performance and expandability.
It is commonly used in the larger of the 'cube'-style cases.

Mini PCI: An extension of the PCI bus used in portable computers.
Designed for peripherals such as modems and network adapters.
Mini PCI cards are credit-card sized modules that snap onto the motherboard;
they are not inserted into slots like PCMCIA cards (PC Cards).
Mini PCI uses the standard PCI signaling that is found in PCI-based desktop
computers, allowing high-speed transfer peripheral connections in small form
factor devices such as laptop computers.

Data on Kontron Motherboards & SBCs
The MB-ATX-845GV-VEA offers the combination
of Intel Pentium 4 or (478 pin) Celeron processor power and the
Intel 845GV
chipset. The system bus runs at 533/400MHz and supports
Non-ECC DDR200/266/333
memory up to 2GB.
Three PCI slots, one shared PCI/ISA slot, two ISA slots
and one ADD (AGP Digital Display) slot provide flexibility for system configurations
that require support for both legacy ISA and current technology add-in cards.
This ATX motherboard has a great combination of
onboard audio, onboard
video,
onboard LAN, and six USB 2.0 ports.
The motherboard can also
boot directly from the onboard CompactFlash Socket making it ideal for embedded
applications.
The MBATX-845GV-VEA is revision controlled to provide consistant long-term product life and will therefore reduce the costs of system testing, certification, and maintenance.
