Intel’s BTX Form Factor – An Analysis and Opinion

BTX based systems are (very) slowly surfacing, but what is this BTX all about anyway? We take a look at what it consists of and whether we think it will be any good. AMD also provided us with a response regarding their systems and the BTX standard.

“I can count the number of commercially available BTX mainboards and chassis’ in this country on one hand. I can count the number of UK retailers selling packaged Pentium 4 processors with the Type 1 BTX Thermal Module on the fingers of no hands.”
