Micro-ATX or mATX boards are essentially a slimmed down version of the standard ATX motherboard. They offer similar expansion features as their full sized brethren including support for the same CPUs and memory. Most of the mATX platforms that offer great performance have been rare with the bulk of the blame aimed at the available chipsets. With that said, the latest generation Intel X58 Chipset has proven to be anything but lack luster and ASUS has married it with the mATX form factor to produce something truly special.
