motherboard

When it comes to form factors, What is the new standard for motherboards? ATX or BTX?

I appreciate any help and opinion.

TIA

New BTX designs have been canceled. So, I guess ATX, but it's not new by any means.

I think ATX is still the standard for almost all motherboards being produced now. BTX wasn't widely accepted and there were very few BTX motherboards produced and only for INTEL based computers, not AMD.

If I were taking the A+ test I would pick ATX. It may not be very new but it is newer than the old AT standard.
