CompTIA A+ 220-901

Category - Hardware

While working on an older computer, you notice that the modem and audio interfaces are not integrated into the PC. These are located on a riser card mounted in a slot containing two rows, each with 23 pins. What kind of card is this?
  1. AMR
  2. CNR
  3. PCMCIA
  4. AGP
Explanation
Answer: A - An audio/modem riser (AMR) card was used on motherboards taking Pentium III, Pentium 4, and other Intel CPUs.

Key Takeaway: AMR cards were designed to act as an extension to the motherboard and save space. AMR has been superseded by ACR and CNR risers, and riser technology is being replaced by PCI Express or components that integrate with the motherboard.
