Some help with CNR stuff

[kingofslack]

Hey guys,
I'm trying to find out about CNR (What's it do, what's is stand for) but there's nothing on the web that I can find. What makes this so special, and how did they sneak another standard in there without it becoming a huge deal? Thanks!

I too would like to know ....where the modems are. CNR stands for Communications Network Riser ...I thinks.
Anyway, where are the modems, can we buy them, and are they any count?

CNR, as he said, is Communications Network Riser. i have yet to see anything/hear of anythin which is out and takes advantage of these slots. For now, it is mainly for OEM's as a cheap solution for NIC's, modems etc.

if you want to know more, you can go to our i815 chipset article,

i815 chipset review

It is something that is supported by the south bridge of the i815 chipset. It is supposed to be something good, in a sense that it can be a cheap solution for ethernet, etc since the device is intergrated into the south bridge already.

However, the real world support for CNR is not that good at all yet. It's hard for people to find the riser anywhere, and even some OEM are having hard time getting them.

I haven't seen any other CNR device on the market yet but i have an Intel Pro100VE CNR network card runnin in my MSI815E PRO.

[L=]http://support.intel.com/technology/cnr/vendors_card.htm[/L] lists some supposed vendors of CNR products, but there are precious few actual products and I can't find any of them for sale anywhere. The D-Link DCNR-LM looks promising, but the only place it seems to exist is on the D-Link site.

the cool thing about CNR is that it doesn't travel through the PCI bus... great if you already have it saturated with realtime AUDIO data and still want to maintain a network connection...

NOW IF ONLY WE COULD BUY ONE! I would buy one right now... 100mbit ethernet card.
