I have a Dell Optiplex GX-1 from 99 and I was cleaning all the dust off the inside and I saw what looks like a 3rd ide channel. It has the same number of pins and the same shape as a regular IDE slot, but its labeled AMR. Whats it for?

AMR stands for Audio Modem Riser. It's a slot that a riser card can be plugged into to support things like sound cards or modems so the motherboard manufacturer doesn't have to incorporate those functions into the motherboard, as they can be added on later if desired.

How many different kinds of AMR slots are there? The one is my new computer looks like a small agp slot but the one in the dell looks like a IDE slot.

There is only one kind of AMR slot(the kind descirbed by juppy), Is anything plugged into the slot, that you see?

My bad its labeled AMC, there was alot of dust on it:)

Does that motherboard have on-board video? If it does and it's ATi based, it could be this (http://www.ati.com/support/faq/amcvip.html).

Ok I went to dell and found the motherboard specs. Its an ATI multimedia connector(AMC). Can anyone tell me what its for?
