Probably an ACR slot which supports a card with Audio, LAN and Modem. Did you try reading your motherboard manual? -- Cari (MS-MVP Printing & Imaging) "M" wrote in message ...

It supports a modem / audio / LAN riser card, a bit like a AMR slot. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/image/10185/ -- Best Regards, Ron Lowe MS-MVP Windows Networking

Thanks. I did read the manual and it does mention one ACR slot and one CNR
slot. What it doesn't do is make it clear where on the board they are. The PC actually came with only one expansion card, the modem which was in a PCI slot. Can this slot be used for anything else?

If you're not using the modem you can remove it and install anything else that uses a standard PCI slot. None of my desktops have modems in them. The notebooks do, but only because they're built in and can't be removed. -- Cari (MS-MVP Printing & Imaging) "M" wrote in message ... Thanks.

use any PCI slot for *any* PCI type card e.g. video cards, modems, sound
cards, network cards etc etc etc. "M" wrote in message ... Thanks. I did read the manual and it does mention one ACR slot and one CNR slot.
