Question about PCI Slot for K8N Diamond Plus owners

Hi,

I'm currently trying to figure out if I should go with an ASUS A8N32-Deluxe, K8N Diamond Plus or DFI Lanparty UT NF4-DR Expert.

I was looking at the manual for the K8N Diamond Plus and it says that the last PCI slot is used for a "communication port". Whats that mean? Has anyone been able to use this as a regular PCI Slot? I'm interested in getting 2 Gigabyte I-RAM cards so I'd need to PCI Slots.

Thanks!
Techno

EDIT: dammit sorry I thought i was posting in the motherboard forum.
 
I believe it's a regular slot, but you can have a special network cards put in it.
The Communication Slot is an optimized and extended version of the basic PCI specification to provide ultimate interface for PCI network cards. MSI develops proprietary Dual-Net card exclusively for communication slot(s) which combine 802.11g wireless networking with Bluetooth technology. This add-on card with antenna offers convenient connection to most wireless devices.

I've got this communication port on a nf2 and 4 board. They're just regular PCI slots as far as most are concerned.
