What is this Orange PCI Slot?

Its a normal pci slot but i also belive its intended for MSI communication cards like their wireless network card. Also it should work just like a normal pci slot. I belive it tells u this in the manual too.

My MSI mainboard's last PCI slot is orange. The rest are the standard white. The only PCI device I have is my soundcard and it's in the orange slot.

How is the orange PCI slot different from the others?

orange= communications slot = ethernet card

What makes it more suitable for an ethernet card compared to the other slots?
 
Some boards have one "special" PCI slot whose supply power has more filtering than the others'. That means if you have an analog signal processing card (sound, TV, etc.) you best plug it there.

Then there are boards that bundle with special, proprietary cards that require a special slot to go with them. Might be that too.
