Has anyone ever used an AMR slot? I heard that they are for winmodems and soundcards. The motherboard I'm buying has one, and I'm curious.

To this day I have still not heard of anyone actually using these things. When I recently purchased a motherboard, the fact that it had no AMR slot was a bonus. It just waste space and resources that could go for another PCI slot.

Not I. From what I understand they don't seem to be widely available. I think the technology was designed for OEMs' but the boards I see them in are not of the OEM type. I would also like to know if people use them.

Yep, this spec is deffinately for OEM's. I've noticed a few AMR 56k modems out there - they're generally very cheap ($12-25) Winmodems. Never actually seen or worked with one though...

AMR(Audio/Modem/Riser) Slot support AMR and MR cards. AMR card provides audio and modem function. MR card provides modem function. AMR slot can reduce the signal of analog. Analog signal would distort the digital signal.
