What is an AMR slot?????

Like the subject says...what the heck is it. I know it stands for Audio Modem Riser, but what is it for? I've never seen an AMR card before...

It's a slot that uses AMR cards. These can be a sound, modem, or both. They are extremely low cost and software based, meaning it is like a combination of AC97 audio or a Winmodem.

Only OEMs use them, and only because of cost. You wouldn't want to buy anything like that for your own computer. The quality sucks.

Yup, CNR (communication network riser) is also pretty much the same, and pretty much wortless http://dev.www.sharkyforums.forums.relay.cool/

Thanks guys...we have 'em in a bunch of computers here at work...and we've never been able to figure out exactly what their purpose was as we've never seen any AMR cards before. Well...now I know, and knowing is half the battle... =)
