Difference between AT & ATX SMPS
AT (Advanced Technology) and ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) are two
incompatible power supply standards. While both power supplies share some of the same
connectors, the technology behind both of them is quite different, requiring different
motherboards and computer cases. The AT style was used from approximately 1980-1997,
while the ATX standard is current.
