D Dr. No macrumors regular Original poster Dec 11, 2005 #1 Intel came up with the BTX form factor a little while ago. I have not heard from it since. Do a lot of PCs use this motherboard style? How about Dell? Is it a possibility that future Macs will use it?

I suppose that anything is possible- who would have imagined Mac OS running on intel processors?!
