Tuesday's class assignment was based on the different form factors that are used with computers as well as the different motherboards.
Form Factors:
In electronics, the form factor of an alternating current waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the average value (mathematical mean of absolute values of all points on the waveform).
There are different values when it comes to an analog wave and a digital wave.
You need to understand the different form factors because they are used daily with computer technicians. When technicians and also end users learn to build desktops, they have to stay mindful of the different types and sizes of the Form Factors available.
Form factor refers to the size and shape of a motherboard. Read more about motherboard form factors.
Motherboard varieties:
1. AT (no longer manufactured)
2. ATX
3. Mini ATX
4. NLX (no longer used. used with riser/daughterboards)
5. ITX
Form factors ensure that parts are interchangeable across competing vendors and generations of technology. Form factors normally determine the size of the case.
