198509 2003-12-08 21:38:00 Hi, i just run Aida32 on my comp, and it says that my computer has 1 CNR slot, now im curious as to what actually uses this slot? MrBeef (342)
198510 2003-12-08 21:45:00 CNR or Communication and Networking Riser was made by Intel. It was supposedly made to reduce the costs to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers).

It didn't quite catch on, it's uses were to support Audio, Modem and Network interfaces, which means buying cards with a CNR slot. Basically I'd prefer if they put another PCI slot there instead of a CNR slot as it's rare to find those products around, unless you really are hunting around for them.

198512 2003-12-08 21:47:00 MrBeef,
CNR - Communication and networking Riser (card) slot.

Not a lot ... maybe a soundcard or a modem or... see definition/explanation Here (www.webopedia.com)
