i am thinking about getting a new motherboard and i have noticed that you can't get the latest and greatest technology on microATX boards (at least with AMD sockets).
i dont see the latest AMD chipsets on micro boards as well as usb3.0, PCIe 3.0 and sata 3. only see these on full ATX boards.
the micro boards seem to have all the legacy stuff like FDD, IDE headers and print headers (does anyone use these?) while ATX boards dont. also, the micros seem to always have on board video.
is this generally how the manufacturers market their boards? or am i off base?
i dont really need a full atx board but would like some of the higher end features that seem to only come with them.
