Props, who would have thought to read the manual!

Fun fact: a slot on a desktop motherboard for cache memory (not RAM) was never really seen again after this. Then in 2013 (17 years later), M.2 slots were introduced, which are commonly used for SSD caching.

I had looked at the manual to another board and I couldn't find it (it didn't even have a diagram) and just found this picture online. Didn't think to look for that manual instead.. Oh well, points all around :)

What do you call the card that goes in there? I'm trying to locate a picture of it. I found one for an old Apple computer on Wikimedia Commons.

@Blackjack00. I've owned about 3 computers so far, none were shipped with an instruction manual for the motherboard.
