It's more compact than a mid and full tower case, and is ideal for workspaces.
yes
most home computers use ATX (Biggest), micro-ATX or mini-ATX (Smallest)
ATX Motherboards are often the preferred motherboard to use in a desktop computer. According to TechRadar, some of the best manufacturers of the Micro ATX motherboards are ASUS, AMD, MSI and Sapphire.
It depends on the type of board you have. Obviously a laptop mobo (motherboard) is going to be smaller than one in a desktop. And again a desktop one is going to be different than one for a server. Motherboards are categorised by a thing called form factor. So for example the form factor of an ATX board is going to be different than the form factor of an extended ATX. ATX would be the standard board you would use in a desktop PC. Whereas you might use mini-ATX for one of those new mini computers you see, or you might use extended-ATX in a server. So when someone asks what form factor the board is, they're really just asking "is it atx or micro-atx or mini-atx etc..." And obviously each form factor is going to be different in size. There are some very good online tutorials about mobo's, check google.
Form Factor determines if something is the right size and shape to fit in a given case. Most cases are ATX. If you get an ATX case, your motherboard and expansion cards must also be ATX. micro-ATX and miniATX are also different kinds of form factor.
ATX is the form factor which Motherboards, Computer Cases and Graphics Cards use to standardise sizing. An ATX form-factor Motherboard will fit an ATX Case, and an ATX Graphics Card will fit in the case as well.
ATX is a form factor. It does not dictate a specific chipset; anything from the now ancient 440BX to a Q57 can be used in an ATX system.
The most popular types of motherboards in use today include the Baby AT, ATX, and Micro ATX format motherboards. There are also numerous proprietary motherboards created by large computer manufacturers such as Dell, IBM, and Compaq sold every year which do not conform to any industry standard format.

Most ATX motherboards offer a choice of several similar processors. The manufacturer decides which processors can used by a specific ATX motherboard. ATX is a physical and electrical specification. ATX does not define a specific central processor, so theoretically an ATX motherboard could be created for any type or brand of processor that can function within the specification. Common ATX motherboards use either an Intel processor or an AMD processor.
The ATX form factor is an ancient one. Modules can range all the way from 72-pin DIMMS to DDR3.
its similar to an LPX motherboard .. but its smaller .. the LPX was designed to be slimline the ATX is designed to be mini ... i actually dont know im just guessing .. its a computer .. use it .. quit yapping
