          @yodelerty Oh- I had assumed you meant x16 slots. You can find nifty things like extra USB ports but they'll be low speed. You'll probably end up using them for nothing.

                @soren It just seems like legacy support at this point.

                    @soren I still remember the last computer we had with a floppy drive.
