ATX with 3 slots chopped off the end and designed for a 145W PS. It has
been obsoleted by FlexATX. Intel loves to change ATX mainboard
offshoots about once per year. I think they are up to 6 or so now.

Why, are they the same price? If so, I'd do dual, even though it will
be a bit slower at a few things.
Of course, in DOS-based Windows, dual-processor does NOTHING.

THE MAJOR CUSTOMER it is, and not THE REGULATOR it fails to be.
