At any rate, is it better to get the new ASUS TX97 motherboards with the TX chipset or the HX? Also, is the ATX form-factor the way to go or is the standard AT footprint still supported even for future motherboards? I'm thinking about getting another machine but didn't know if I should go the ATX route or not. Like what are the advantages and disadvantages of ATX?
