what is the middle one? I know the top is pcie, and the bottom pci, but WTF is that middle one?
5V 64-bit PCI slot?
keep in mind that this is a dell optiplex
the end channel look a little small
It looks like its for old AGP video cards
this a dell optiplex gx280? that motherboard is designed to fit in a different form factor case (e.g. a desktop) that would take one of these riser cards and the slots would be oriented a different way in that case. the "extra" connector is for the lanes not shared between the two slots, and extra power

probably.
(could also be a scsi "upgrade" card found in servers. But this doesn't look like any server motherboard would.)
Figured it out; it's a dual PCI expansion slot so you can get two more PCI slots off of that single slot, if you need it:
Nooooo!!!!!!! You beat me to it :|
yeah its a riser expansion, I had a ton of these
thanks, it didn't look like anything i'd ever seen before....
Great job Wendell you solved the misterious quiz.
