I dont have an answer, but I do have the same question. What are they?

CNR and AMR

These are slots just like PCI, but smaller... the AK31 has a CNR slot, and that's the only experience I've had with 'em. CNR cards as far as I know can be soundcards, nic's, modems, or modem & nic combo's.

from my experience with working on comps.. CNR slots use a whole lot more systen]m resources than PCI slots because they are leeching of you proc.

CNR Cards were supposed to be a cheep way for OEM's to put NIC/Modem cards into machines. They suck ***, however.

just another way for major manufactors to save money on components by using sucky cards and raise their stock a quarter of a point

Manufacturers say that they care about their customers, but I think otherwise.
