What advantages does atx have over micrcoatx?

Answer 1

Size is the advantage.

MicroATX is usually much smaller than normal ATX and usually has fewer expansion slots like PCI (+variants), fewer DIMM sockets (usually 1 maybe 2) they are often built around budget or low cost CHIPSETS. Much of this depends on the manufacturer. Some motherboards come with the CPU soldered on while others use a socket. Often mATX boards cost the same as ATX and if space is not an issue in your chasis, then go with a Standard ATX. Standard ATX provides a better upgrade path over µATX.

ATX is just a way of describing the type of motherboard.

Answer 2

Size - that's about it. Good for installing in smaller build PC's, but no less powerfull than full size boards. Drawback is you will have less slots available for expansion of additional accessories/peripherals.

Answer 3

The ATX form factor features a more spacious system board, making it easier to add or remove components. Also, cooling on ATX systems is better than on Micro ATX.

Answer 4

You can generally fit more stuff onto it, pci. microatx boards aren't generally compatible with standard size cases.

Answer 5

The Advantages would be the sizes of the motherboard. Micro would be a smaller motherboard which would mean a smaller case/chassis.
