Really, that's all I need to know. <br />
<br />
It's a large-ish slot about the size of a PCI slot. <br />
<br />
What are they used for?<br />
<br />
I haven't heard of them before, and i'm looking at two mobos, one of which has a DPS slot and no other features added above the other, but is $60 more. &nbsp;Is this mysterious DPS slot going to be up-and-coming new technology that i'll be smacking myself for not dishing out $60 on?<br />
<br />
250 points if you can explain it to me, and tell me what they're most frequently used for. &nbsp;I'll make it 300 if you find me a website with such an explanation and pictures. &nbsp;I like pictures.

What is a DPS slot?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
