What is a key characteristic of the LPX form factor?

Uses risers
Supports PCI exclusively
It is the largest motherboard form factor
None of the above

The correct answer is: Uses risers

A key characteristic of the LPX form factor is that it uses risers to connect expansion cards to the motherboard. This design allows for a smaller and more compact form factor, making it ideal for compact computers and low-profile cases. Option B is incorrect because although LPX boards do have PCI slots, they also support other types of expansion slots. Option C is incorrect because the LPX form factor is actually one of the smallest motherboard form factors available. Option D is incorrect because LPX boards do have key characteristics, such as the use of risers, and are not simply nonexistent.
