The link to the Ultra ATX pages suggest the size is:
It however also needs editing, along with ALL other ATX pages that use the measurement guide down the right hand side of the page. As all of these pages list UltraATX as being size "244 x ?". So if someone reads this and wants to help the community, go right ahead and fix them all. 124.148.54.144 ( talk) 06:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
I was doing a google search for mATX (because I came across that term somewhere), and I'm pretty sure it refers to MicroATX... I was wondering if there was a MiniATX as well, rather than mini ITX...or a medium or large? Anyway, if someone who knows for sure wants to add a redirect from mATX to here, and mention it in the text. Rygir 14:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure why Shuttle is mentioned in this article. Their boards are a custom form factor, but they most closely resemble FlexATX (which is what Shuttle usually describes them as). They're actually too long to be either microATX or FlexATX, officially. Aluvus 04:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
What are USB entrapments? -- Astronouth7303 03:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Also, is there a difference between a standard ATX power supply and a Micro ATX power supply? are they the same size or do sizes vary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.142.226 ( talk)
This article is very short and partially duplicates the ATX article. I suggest merging it into ATX. Please comment! hajhouse 14:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Please add inches to the microATX page. Sorry I couldn't figure out how to do the edit quickly. Here's the measurements: 244mm x 244mm (9.6" x 9.6") and 305mm x 244mm (12" x 9.6")
Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.176.136.29 ( talk • contribs) 15:17, 22 June 2007.
There's a very convenient visual size comparison done on Svga page, can someone create one for this page as well? Fry-kun ( talk) 06:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
The wikipedia article claims
"The mounting points of microATX motherboards are a subset of those used on full-size ATX board"
However the ATX 2.2 specification claims that holes R and S are new for microatx. You probabblly could mount a microATX board without using these holes but I don't imagine it would be very stable. Plugwash ( talk) 11:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I thing mini-atx has wrong dimension in the color comparison image -- Chomwitt ( talk) 17:00, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I agree. mATX is square and smaller than uATX. That diagram really threw me off. 98.204.94.134 ( talk) 16:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
The picture depicting the G31M-S motherboard is not an example of a microATX board. As stated on this article and on the main ATX article the dimensions of a microATX board 244mm x 244mm i.e. it is perfectly square. The G31M-S motherboard in the picture is clearly not square. The image should be removed. 80.5.237.92 ( talk) 13:56, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

On this, and other pages displaying images of motherboards with IDE connections are all outdated and they should indicate this. And images of the newer designs should be added.— Ineuw talk 06:04, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
