ATX vs. AT:  These two terms refer to form factor or overall design of a
system. You must select the components that belong to either the ATX or the
AT form. Remember the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the determining
component the
decides whether you are using an ATX or AT form. Basically, if you choose
either an Intel Pentium II, III or the AMD K7 Athlon CPU's you must use an
ATX motherboard and case. Intel Celeron CPU's come as slot 1(ATX) or a
socket 370 (motherboards are available as AT or ATX). All other CPU's use an
AT motherboard and case. HTH. :-)
