Socket: The type of processor socket. The processor we choose must have the same socket to fit into the motherboard. In addition to the socket, the motherboard's chipset must also be supported by the processor.
ATX: Supports multiple expansion card slots, several RAM slots, and various storage options. It has enough space for adequate cooling and offers several input/output ports.
Micro ATX: Smaller than ATX, but retains many of its features. Suitable for smaller computer cases, yet with enough space for upgrades and expansion.
Mini ITX: It is smaller than Micro ATX and limited to fewer slots. Suitable for very small computers, with limited upgrade capabilities, but with enough space for basic needs.
Extended ATX: Larger size to provide even more space for expansion cards, RAM slots, and better cooling support. Used in high-end computers, servers, or gaming computers.
SSI: Offers larger size and supports multiple processors, more advanced memory support, and multiple slots for expansion cards. Used in high-performance servers and workstations.
Chipset Model: The core of the motherboard that connects the components together. The processor we choose must support the motherboard's chipset to be 100% compatible with each other and to fully utilize the motherboard's connections.
Dual Channel: It is possible to install two identical RAM memories that will work in parallel and offer more speed to applications that require a lot of memory (e.g. video editing).
Quad Channel: It is possible to install four identical RAM memories that will work in parallel.
