AMD and MicroATX

Kevin · 11-03-2001, 02:27 PM

The nVidia nForce ref. board was a microATX moterboard. Looking on the net, I can't find a mATX power supply that is greater than like 160w. How does AMD expect microATX boards to get their power?

They prolly just put them in ATX cases. And you mean how does Nvidia expect, AMD didn't make the nForce. And who says the board will be mATX at release? Lots and lots of ref boards just come small like that, but the release versions come normal sizes.

Oh I know... I was actually hoping for a microATX release. I'm looking for a nice AMD machine for my grandpa. I'm sure that almost all mobos will be ATX when released. I'm more hoping that there will be some 300W ATX psus.
