Don't quite understand your question?

ATX is a form factor designed by Intel and is currently the industry standard.

I am pretty sure all 680i, 650i, p35, and x38 are ATX...

We can compare if you give us links or the names of the motherboard.

yeah that didnt make to much sense. so how do i know what chipset a motherboard has by just looking at it? the one im looking at only can go up to 4 gig at 800mhz. sound like just an basic intel chipset to me. and if so are those good boards and will i be able to upgrade easly?

I have to see the spec sheet of the motherboard to tell you if it's good =x Intel chipsets are better if you are not planning to do SLI.

The chipset is contained in the motherboard's name and spec sheets.

Affordable motherboard chipsets: Intel P35, NVIDIA nForce 650i

Expensive ones: Intel X38, NVIDIA nForce 680i, NVIDIA nForce 780i

examples:
ASUS P5N32-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
