Hi, my brother is building is first computer soon, he is trying to do it cheaply, I originally suggested Intel, as I regret going the AMD route, but he doesn't want to pay the cpu prices, so I looked into a couple of motherboards for him, annoyingly mine is AM3 so supports nothing above my Phenom, which is probably the least of my worries really, but I came across a few AM3+ motherboard backward compatible all the way to the Sempron and Athlon ii x 2, and all the was up to the FX chips, ideal I thought if he can only afford a cheap cpu at the minute leaving his options open to upgrade. This caught my attention MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) AM3+ Socket Motherboard 4719072232252 | eBay I got excited when in the listing it said ATX, but reading further in the specs it says m atx, my heart dropped at this point, and it seems to be the same for all the one's I've looked at, got excited and then seen that, so as the title suggests, is there a reason for this?
