AT machines display a message that let's you know to push the PC-off button to shut down your machine. ATX machines have a "soft off". If you didn't know that, you probably couldn't answer this question. Before you answer, let us try to clarify any assumptions. Windows 2000 is installed on an AT machine, 550mHz processor, 512mb SDRAM, 16mb nVidia TNT Riva. I replaced the AT MOBO for an ATX MOBO, installed 768mb PC2100, uninstalled drivers, moved HDD over to new MOBO and powered up. Windows started and loaded WinDefault drivers (that's what I call them). Then I installed the MOBO's manufacturer drivers from disk, and went to Microsoft Update and updated my drivers with the latest Win2K revision from Microsoft. When I shutdown, I still get the old AT PC message "It is now safe to turn off your computer." prompt instead of shutting down like a "normal" ATX machine.
