Those were seen in a lot of late-90/early 2000s computers and were meant to hold modems and sound cards and such. However, there were very few cards made for those slots as everybody just used PCI slots.

Yes, I am actually still running the Pentium III 1.0B Coppermine in the picture.

I believe it stand for Communication and Network Riser. I've only seen modem/NICs in them, never a sound card. Dell used them, not sure about anyone else. I might have one in my junk bin, not sure. Not much good for anything.

If your using a PC that has one, you need an upgrade.
