Noob question of the day...
What are the real differences between the ATX form vs mATX? ...yes, besides the obvious of actual dimensions and the case to mount them in, the only thing I can see would be additional PCI slots for multiple GPU's or other cards/controllers.
I'm considering moving my mATX Z68 board to my HTPC build and getting a new ATX or mATX board for my desktop build, I'm just wondering if I'll be missing anything important by going with mATX again. Better circuitry or current handling?
