AT was not a very large technological jump from older form factors. The AT's largest advancement was its "tower" design and a remote power switch in the front. The AT power supply provided 192 watts, triple that of older form factors.

It is wrong on SO many levels. The first AT cases (the IBM PC/AT) was not a tower. The power switch was still attached to the PSU at the back right of the case. It was not until towers became popular that we saw the remote power switches on AT form factor cases. Furthermore, the XT did not have a 64 watt power supply. I believe the PC/XT had a 135, but I am not positive (most clones were 150 or 165). Oregonerik 17:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
