Added to types of motherboards (#20596) 

Despite being so small, I felt it would be appropriate to mention smaller motherboards such as the raspberry pi to give insight to other form factors.

Motherboards come in different sizes, known as form factors. The most common motherboard form factor is ATX. The different types of ATX are known as micro-ATX (sometimes shown as µATX, mini-ATX, FlexATX, EATX, WATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and mobileATX).

Additionally there can be even smaller boards like the raspberry pi, which are 65mm by 35mm and have all processing units integrated to the board. There are many others that are even more specific in function, such as an Aurdino board. These are typically limited in I/O, have no expansion slots aside from whatever expansion is offered via USB ports, and some display ports like HDMI or similar variants. These are used for small emulator projects, running small servers, or as an alternative to slim client devices in an office.
