ATX and BTX are types of motherboards designed by Intel. ATX is the more popular motherboard and has been around since the mid 90's and was designed for the ease of adding and removing components. BTX boards are newer then ATX and were designed to provide better airflow throughout the computer while maintaining the benefits of the ATX design. BTX has improved air flow , can be used in all cases and is able to use ATX power supply.

Are all motherboard the same?
No they are not, there are two types of commonly used motherboards. There are the ATX motherboards and the BTX motherboards.ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard form factor specification developed by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the ATX form factor. It was the first major change in desktop computer enclosure, motherboard , and power supply design in many years, improving standardization and interchangeability of parts. The specification defines the key mechanical dimensions, mounting point, I/O panel, power and connector interfaces between a computer case , a motherboard, and a power supply. The acronym BTX stands for Balanced Technology Extended, and includes various important enhancements to cases and hardware components among its specifications. The primary drivers behind the development of BTX include more efficient PC cooling (or better cooling performance, if you like) but also quietest possible operation. Visually, the biggest change that BTX entails involves a shuffling of motherboard components that's a mirror image of typical ATX arrangements. Expansion slots and the I/O panel change places. Among other things, this has the intentional effect of putting PCI Express graphics cards in the path of the CPU fan's air stream.
What form factor does your PC use?
most home computers use ATX (Biggest), micro-ATX or mini-ATX (Smallest)
Why is the ATX power supply more preferable than the AT power supply?
ATX technology is related to the SMPS in which when the user shutdowns the PC, there will be power supplied to the motherboard until the mains are removed. Thus ATX technology helps in remote start up of PC whereas this is not possible with AT technology where the power is totally not supplied to the motherboard when PC is in shutdown state
