, most desktop computer motherboards use the ATX standard form factor — even those found in Macintosh and Sun computers, which have not been built from commodity components.

Remnants of this effort can be seen in the form factor of the production G3: the logic board's similarity to the PC ATX motherboard standard ; solder points for a PC-type floppy drive ; and the ability to use both proprietary Apple power supplies and industry-standard ATX power supplies.

The ATX standard from Intel has completely replaced the original AT power supply and motherboard design.

In 2003, Intel announced the BTX standard, intended as a replacement for ATX.

, the ATX form factor remains a standard for do-it-yourselfers ; BTX has however made inroads into pre-made systems.

This changed when the BTX form factor had a big change by turning it into a mirror image of the ATX standard, since the new motherboard design both standards are incompatible.

However, all other manufacturers, including HP, mostly stayed with the ATX standard.

Power supplies eventually needed forced cooling, and soon took up the duty of cooling the rest of the PC with the ATX standard.

The standard ATX size is 25 % longer, at 305 mm × 244 mm ( 12 in × 9. 6 in ).

An AT or ATX standard ' power supply ' normally has multiple connectors of this type.

There was a 1. 6 L engine, a 4-speed MTX-2 and a 5-speed MTX-3 manual transmission that were standard with a 3-speed ATX / FLC automatic transmission optional.

Pony models used plainer interior trim with greater use of vinyl and plastic instead of cloth, and a 4-speed manual transaxle was standard, although buyers could opt for the 5-speed found in LX models or the 3-speed ATX automatic.

A typical motherboard of 2009 will have a different number of connections depending on its standard.

A standard EATX motherboard will have one PCI-Express 16x connection for a graphics card, and a varying number of PCI and PCI-E 1x slots.

While the P55C is compatible with the common Socket 7 motherboard configuration, the voltage requirements for powering the chip differ from the standard Socket 7 specifications.

Called " PLUS cards ", their connector design allowed them to be smaller ( and cheaper ) than standard ISA cards and to stack, rather than connecting to separate motherboard connectors ; both of these aspects of the design saved space and allowed up to three cards to be installed in a small card compartment of the compact integrated system case.

With USB soon included in the standard motherboard control chips from Intel, A. b was pushed out onto the low-end and quickly disappeared.

The display unit, which also contained the processor, motherboard and RAM, was the standard 640 × 480 pixels in size and worked in VGA mode.

This was a single integrated motherboard that used PC standard DRAM DIMM modules.

Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus ; the low cost and ubiquity of the Ethernet standard means that most newer computers have a network interface built into the motherboard.

The label also became a standard term in reference to PCs that used the same type of power supply, case, and motherboard layout as the 5170.

A dedicated GPU is not necessarily removable, nor does it necessarily interface with the motherboard in a standard fashion.

The tenure of MCGA was brief ; the PS / 2 Model 25 and Model 30 ( which had an MCGA display adapter integrated into the motherboard ) were discontinued by 1992 and no manufacturer produced a clone of this display adapter, since the VGA standard introduced at the same time was considered superior.

It is not uncommon to find UHCI, OHCI and EHCI all co-existing in a standard PC, with a UHCI driver providing low-and full-speed functions on the ( Intel chipset ) motherboard, an OHCI driver providing low-and full-speed functions for the USB ports on an add-in ( NEC chipset ) PCI expansion card, and an EHCI driver providing high-speed functions for the USB ports on that expansion card.

The ExpressCard standard specifies voltages of either 1. 5 V or 3. 3 V ; CardBus slots can use 3. 3 V or 5. 0 V. The ExpressCard FAQ claims lower cost, better scalability, and better integration with motherboard chipset technology than Cardbus.

* Structural design-The BTX standard specifies different locations for hardware mounting points, thereby reducing latency between key components and also reduces the physical strain imposed on the motherboard by heat sinks, capacitors and other components dealing with electrical and thermal regulation.

Pico BTX is a motherboard form factor that is meant to miniaturize the BTX standard.

The passive backplanes of early models were replaced with the standard of putting the CPU on a motherboard, with only optional expansion boards in system bus slots.

This was the only standard PC / AT motherboard ever made with both an Intel 80486 and an Intel i860 processor ( optional ).

* The LPX motherboard standard

All RISCstations used a standard IBM AT-style tower or minitower case, a motherboard which also met the AT form factor standard, and PCI peripherals ( such as the video card ) for peripheral expansion.

Main contributors have been LANL, AMD, coresystems GmbH and Linux Networx, Inc, as well as motherboard vendors MSI, Gigabyte and Tyan, by offering coreboot next to their standard BIOS or providing specifications of the hardware interfaces for some of their recent motherboards.

This condition will undoubtedly continue until such time as a state uniform system of evaluation is established, or through mutual agreement of the local assessing officials for a method of standard assessment practice to be adopted.

For the most part, this discussion will be confined to results obtained since the introduction of the reference standard.

This conclusion is dependent on the assumption that traditional sex mores will continue to sanction both premarital chastity as the `` ideal '', and the double standard holding females primarily responsible for preserving the ideal.

Greer Garson, world-famous star of stage, screen and television, will be honored for the high standard in tasteful sophisticated fashion with which she has created a high standard in her profession.

In cases where a judge rather than a jury decided issues of fact, an appellate court will apply an " abuse of discretion " standard of review.

A standard contract for an author will usually include provision for payment in the form of an advance and royalties.

When a specific allophone ( from a set of allophones that correspond to a phoneme ) must be selected in a given context ( i. e. using a different allophone for a phoneme will cause confusion or make the speaker sound non-native ), the allophones are said to be complementary ( i. e. the allophones complement each other, and one is not used in a situation where the usage of another is standard ).

Critics of this type of argument have tended to point out that this is just a standard criticism of representative democracy — a democratically elected government will not always act in the direction of greatest current public support — and that, therefore, there is no inconsistency in the leaders ' positions given that these countries are parliamentary democracies.

The standard example is the stock of a company, undervalued in the stock market, which is about to be the object of a takeover bid ; the price of the takeover will more truly reflect the value of the company, giving a large profit to those who bought at the current price — if the merger goes through as predicted.

The North American agencies will only require these standards for new device submissions, while the EU will take the more severe approach of requiring all applicable devices being placed on the market to consider the home healthcare standard.

For example, after 10 rounds at 1 unit per round, the standard deviation will be 2 x 1 x sqrt ( 10 x 18 / 38 x 20 / 38 ) =

As the number of rounds increases, eventually, the expected loss will exceed the standard deviation, many times over.

Crystals of BPO < sub > 4 </ sub > can also precipitate from the flowing glass on cooling ; these crystals are not readily etched in the standard reactive plasmas used to pattern oxides, and will result in circuit defects in integrated circuit manufacturing.

Therefore, discs with capacities larger than 650 MB, and especially those larger than 700 MB, are less interchangeable among players / drives than standard discs and are not very suitable for archival use, as their readability on future equipment, or even on the same equipment at a future time, is not assured, even under the assumption that the discs will not degrade at all.
