In Short, ATX refers to both the form of the motherboard AND the power supply it requires. An ATX system typically allows the OS to power off the system, much like a laptop. ATX motherboards (again, referring to the arrangement of components, including the plate near the top that houses a range of things from USB to serial connections, AND the different type of power supply) are increasingly more common, but don't forget than many AT-form factor motherboards now support ATX power supplies (I have one at work that's a Soyo Super-7 K6-2 based AT board that has both AT and ATX power supply connectors).
And that's not too far fetched, considering they WANT you to return the board to them to reset the region lock if you exceed the max # of changes (5)

The MX300 uses the Aureal Semiconductor Vortex2 chip. There is a driver under development by a third party. Check out www.opensound.com .
