| ( | D | ) | | Mini ATX |
|
| ( | E | ) | | All of the above are common Form Factors |
The Correct Answer is: E
The most chosen answer was [ B ] :: [ LPX ]
Explanation:
The Full AT motherboard size is mostly found in older PCs and fits into Full Tower cases. The LPX form factor is also found in older PCs that use a slimline case. ATX is the size used by many new PCs and come in an "ATX" case. MiniATX motherboards are also used with newer PCs with much smaller "ATX" cases.
