edit: Drak, those links are blocked for some reason.

Strip the HTTP off of them, they are FTP links that the BBS UBBCode toasted. Or hit the third link, they are also linked off that page.

And yes, I was intending CNR. There are a few standard for this type of slot, but basicially yes they are just connectors for the actual devices integrated somewhere on the motherboard.

I'll admit, AGP is nice, but thats only after a few revisions. If only that effort has been towards the standard... PCI-X for example is just as fast as current AGP implementations, and no extra support from a PCI capable OS is needed. I'd rather have a "Fast PCI" slot on it's own bus on my motherboard instead of a slot on it's own bus restricted to one device. Well, I'd also be happy if PCs even saw 64 bit PCI slots someday soon.
