Intel's new ATX motherboard is the first major
reengineering of the PC motherboard in a decade. It sets a
new standard for motherboard configuration for desktops
and mini-towers that improves the component layout. ATX
also costs less to manufacture; provides easier access to
slots, cables, and bays; reduces noise and power
consumption by requiring only one cooling fan and a
smaller power supply; and fits existing AT and baby AT
cases. It also fits into a new small-footprint case that
stacks the rear connectors to save even more space. The
ATX will appear in PCs later this year.Contact: Intel, Santa Clara, CA; (800) 538-3373 or
