Motherboard Types/Classifications

There are a number of motherboard classifications or form factors. Four classifications that you would find in market today are; Baby AT, ATX, LXP, and NLX . NLX is just upgrade of LXP. The other thing to consider when buying motherboard is the socket type it has and maybe the manufacturer if you trust one manufacturer than another. Read the document of your mother to make sure it supports type of CPU processor you will install. For example; Intel® Socket 478 motherboard might only support Intel Pentium 4 processors. If you are not sure, buy motherboard with pre-installed processor
