I am planning to replace my motherboard in my Gateway G6-400. My documentation says that this is an Intel Integrated 440BX Slot 1 motherboard. The form factor is MATX {Micro ATX???} and the board measures about 9 ½ inches square. I have looked at several motherboards at Tiger Direct online but they only have 3 or 4 MATX boards and I wanted to get a recommendation on what would be the best MATX board to purchase and where I could get the best price. The board I am considering is an Epox 8KEM Socket A Motherboard w/AMD Athlon 1.3 GHz CPU located at:

The cost is 179.00. The dimensions look to be a bit different than mine at 8 x 9.6 where mine is approximately 9.6 x 9.6. This board has onboard sound and video, which is something I was looking for, as video/sound is not that important to me.

One last question: I am assuming there is a difference between power supplies for an MATX and ATX board. My current power supply for my Micro ATX board is much smaller than the power supply I installed for a friend. Is the major difference size, voltage, or what?

Thanks for any help you can give.
